Product Description
Polynase Eye Ointment is a combination medication used to treat bacterial eye infections. It works by alleviating the symptoms of eye infections such as pain, itching, redness, and discomfort, while also eliminating the infection-causing bacteria. The ointment provides relief from irritation and prevents the spread of bacterial infections in the eye.
SALT COMPOSITION:
- Polymyxin B (10000 IU) + Chloramphenicol (10 mg)
Together, these antibiotics work synergistically to treat bacterial infections by stopping bacterial growth and killing the harmful microorganisms in the affected area.
Uses of Polynase Eye Ointment:
- Treatment of Bacterial Eye Infections: Polynase Eye Ointment is primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), blepharitis, or other similar conditions caused by bacteria.
Medicinal Benefits:
- Polymyxin B: An antibiotic that is effective against gram-negative bacteria, it works by disrupting the bacteria’s cell membrane, leading to their death.
- Chloramphenicol: A broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively preventing bacteria from multiplying.
When combined, these two antibiotics provide a dual-action treatment against a wide range of bacterial pathogens, helping to clear the infection, reduce inflammation, and relieve discomfort in the affected eye.
How to Use Polynase Eye Ointment:
- External Use Only: This ointment is meant to be applied to the affected eye only.
- Application Instructions:
- Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the ointment.
- Hold the tube close to the eye but avoid touching the eye with the tip of the tube.
- Gently squeeze the tube to release a small amount of ointment into the lower eyelid.
- Close your eye gently after application to help spread the ointment evenly.
- Follow the prescribed dosage and complete the course of treatment as directed by your doctor, even if the symptoms improve before finishing the treatment.
Precautions:
- Temporary Blurred Vision: The ointment may cause temporary blurred vision or stinging upon application. It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the vision clears.
- Avoid Contact with Other Areas: If the ointment accidentally comes into contact with the ears, nose, or mouth, rinse the area immediately with water.
- Allergic Reactions: Inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients (Polymyxin B or Chloramphenicol).
- Avoid Overuse: Do not use more than the prescribed amount as it will not improve the condition faster and may increase the risk of side effects.
Side Effects of Polynase Eye Ointment:
The ointment may cause some temporary side effects such as:
- Burning or stinging sensation upon application.
- Irritation or redness in the eye.
- These side effects usually resolve on their own after a short time. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
How Polynase Eye Ointment Works:
Polynase Eye Ointment combines the antibacterial effects of Polymyxin B and Chloramphenicol. These antibiotics work together by:
- Polymyxin B targets and disrupts the cell membrane of bacteria, causing them to die.
- Chloramphenicol prevents bacterial protein synthesis, halting the bacteria’s ability to reproduce and spread.
By combining these actions, Polynase effectively treats and controls bacterial infections in the eye, reducing inflammation and providing symptomatic relief.
