Is Using Polymyxin-B-Sulphate And Trimethoprim Advisable For Soreness In The Eyes?
Hi, I have a sore eye and have 2 eye drops... Tobramycin/dexamethasone suspension or Epinastine HCL...I see my Opthomologist every 3 months to keep an eye on my glaucoma pressure... I used Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim Ophthalmic. Solution...Which one would be best to use.My eye feels scratchy and irritated and looks reddish ...the lid feels sore on the inside.
Hello Dear. Yes this is a good eye drop for soreness of eyes. This medication is used to treat bacterial infections (such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis) of the eye. It contains 2 antibiotics. Polymyxin B works by killing the bacteria. Trimethoprim works by stopping the growth of the bacteria.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed, usually 7 to 10 days. Stopping the medication too soon may allow the bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.
Kindly consult your opthalmologist if you are not better after taking a course.
