SKU GME1148Eye Care
Product Introduction
Chloramphenicol 10mg/g + Polymyxin B Sulphate 10000iu/g eye ointment treats superficial bacterial eye infections, including susceptible bacterial conjunctivitis. Its ointment base keeps the antibiotics in contact with the affected surface for longer than a rapidly draining drop.
How to use
Pull down the lower eyelid and place a small ribbon inside the pocket without touching the tube tip to the eye. Close the eyelids gently. When drops and ointment are both needed, apply the drops first and the ointment last.
How it works
Chloramphenicol blocks bacterial protein production at the 50S ribosome. Polymyxin B damages the outer membrane of susceptible bacteria, particularly Gram-negative organisms.
Side effects
Temporary blurred vision, stinging, irritation or local allergy may occur. Rare blood-cell disorders have been associated with chloramphenicol exposure.
Important information
A personal or family history of blood disorders matters before chloramphenicol use. Avoid contact lenses during an active eye infection. Repeated or prolonged courses can allow resistant organisms or fungi to grow.
Uses
- Superficial bacterial infections of the eye caused by susceptible organisms.
Benefits
Targets the infection responsible for discharge and inflamed eyelids while providing sustained contact with the eye surface.
Why is vision cloudy after applying the ointment?
The oily film temporarily scatters light. Vision should clear as it spreads and drains; persistent blur is different from this short-lived effect.
Does the ointment contain a steroid?
This two-antibiotic formulation does not contain a corticosteroid. It differs from combinations that also contain dexamethasone.
Can I stop when the discharge disappears?
Early improvement does not always mean the bacteria have cleared. Complete the treatment course rather than stopping at the first improvement.
Will it help an allergic or viral red eye?
Antibiotics do not treat allergy or viruses. The cause of a red eye determines whether this combination is useful.
What if the eye becomes more painful during treatment?
Increasing pain, light sensitivity or reduced vision can indicate corneal involvement and needs prompt examination.
