SKU GME1218Eye Care
Product Introduction
Chloramphenicol 10mg/g + Polymyxin B Sulphate 10000iu/g + Dexamethasone 1mg/g eye ointment treats steroid-responsive eye inflammation when antibacterial treatment or cover is needed. It combines two antibiotics with a corticosteroid.
How to use
Place a small ribbon in the lower-eyelid pocket without touching the tube tip to the eye. Close the lids gently. If eye drops are also used, instil them first and apply the ointment last.
How it works
Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial protein production and polymyxin B disrupts susceptible bacterial membranes. Dexamethasone suppresses local inflammatory mediators.
Side effects
Temporary blur, stinging or irritation may occur. Longer exposure can raise eye pressure, delay corneal healing or encourage secondary infection; chloramphenicol has rarely been linked with blood disorders.
Important information
Avoid use in herpes or fungal eye disease and take particular care with glaucoma or corneal thinning. A personal or family history of blood disorders is relevant to chloramphenicol treatment.
Uses
- Steroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions requiring antibacterial treatment or cover.
Benefits
Combines control of susceptible bacteria with reduction of associated inflammation in an ointment formulation.
How does this differ from the two-antibiotic ointment?
It also contains dexamethasone, so it has additional anti-inflammatory action and steroid-related precautions.
Can it be used for an undiagnosed red eye?
No. A steroid can worsen certain infections or conceal a corneal problem despite reducing redness.
Does the ointment blur vision?
Its film can cause short-lived blur. Persistent worsening of vision needs examination rather than being attributed to the ointment.
Why might pressure checks be needed with repeated treatment?
Ocular corticosteroids can raise eye pressure in susceptible people, sometimes without obvious symptoms.
Is this an ear ointment as well?
This presentation is formulated as an eye ointment. It should not be assumed interchangeable with eye/ear-drop products.
