ACTIONS:
Polymyxin B is one of a group of closely related substances produced by various strains of Bacillus polymyxa. The activity of polymyxin B is sharply restricted to gram-negative bacteria. Neomycin, isolated from Streptomyces fradiae, has antibacterial activity in vitro against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. Bacitracin, an antibiotic substance derived from cultures of Bacillus subtilis (Tracy), exerts antibacterial action in vitro against a variety of gram-positive and a few gram-negative organisms.
-

This product is indicated for the treatment of superficial bacterial infections of the eyelid and conjunctiva of dogs and cats when due to organisms susceptible to one or more of the antibiotics contained in the ointment.
Laboratory tests should be conducted including in vitro culturing and susceptibility tests on samples collected prior to treatment.
