Polymyxin B, Chloramphenicol, Betamethasone

The Polymyxin B/Chloramphenicol Ophthalmic Ointment combines two antibiotics: Polymyxin B, which is a polypeptide antibiotic, and Chloramphenicol, a synthetic antibacterial agent. This combination aims to treat bacterial infections affecting the eyes. The ointment also contains Betamethasone (Dipropionate), a synthetic corticosteroid, which provides anti-inflammatory properties and is essential in reducing inflammation. The ointment helps soothe and alleviate any redness, itching, and irritation associated with eye conditions like conjunctivitis, or ‘pink eye’, corneal ulcers, or other inflammatory disorders affecting the eye.
Usage: use this product precisely as directed by a healthcare provider to achieve the best results. Before use, wash hands thoroughly to maintain proper hygiene. Tilt the head back and apply a small strip of the ointment onto the affected eye or eyes. Avoid touching the eye with the applicator tip or contact lens. For contact lenses wearers, remove the lenses before using the ointment. Wearing contact lenses while the medicine is on the eye may cause discomfort and blurred vision.
For patients using the Betamethasone 0.1% Ophthalmic Solution, the solution is used for various ocular conditions such as seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis, ocular itching due to various causes, and other ocular inflammation or irritation disorders. This solution works by providing corticosteroid anti-inflammatory properties, which help decrease redness, swelling, and eye irritation. Apply the drops as prescribed and inform the healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve or worsen.
Both products come in sterile, preservative-free forms, ensuring no damage to the eye and minimal chances of complications. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new eye medications.
