Is Terrasil Ointment Safe To Use For Blepharitis?

I have been given eye drops and cream for dry eyes as I have blepharitis, these are useless and I think i may have to return to my gp who has already sent me to hospital to rule out iritis and glaucoma (the hospital gave me a blepharitis leaflet). Do you know if it possible to obtain terrasil ointment in the UK and whether or not it is safe?

terrasil is a skin oint ment. For blepharitis you have to clean lid margin with sterile swab. Apply neosporine eye ointment on lid margin. For dry eye use refresh tear eye drop 3times daily.
