At a glance
Benzocaine + Oxytetracycline + Polymyxin B Eye prep is a combination ophthalmic preparation used for the treatment of bacterial eye infections and corneal inflammation.
Indications
- Bacterial eye infections
- Inflammation of the Cornea
Pharmacology
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that prevents the generation and transmission of impulses along nerve fibers and at nerve endings. Depolarization and ion-exchange are inhibited. In general, loss of pain occurs before loss of sensory, autonomic and motor functions.
Oxytetracycline binds reversibly to the 30S and possibly 50S ribosomal subunits, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and arresting cell growth. It is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
Polymyxin B disrupts the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane of mostly gram-negative organisms by binding to membrane phospholipids, allowing leakage of intracellular constituents.
Dosage
Eye Drops: 1-2 drops 2-4 times daily.
