Can Bacitracin Zinc-Polymyxin B Ointment Be Used For The Treatment Of A Stye In The Eye?
Bacitracin Zinc-Polymyxin B Ointment Can I use this for a stye in my eye? I believe this was prescribed by my doctor when I previously had a stye, but according to what I have read online, it says not to let ie get in your eye! How can I use it for the stye if it can t get in my eye? There are no directions on the tube & i did not keep the insert or the box. I cannot afford to pay for an answer from this site. I guess I ll use my best judgement and hope this is the product I used before. thank you
