Epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, varicella, and many other viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva. Mycobacterial infection of the eye. Fungal diseases of ocular structures. Hypersensitivity to a component of the medication.
NOT FOR INJECTION INTO THE EYE. Should a sensitivity reaction occur, discontinue use. Neomycin Sulfate may cause cutaneous sensitization. Remove contact lenses before using.
As with other antibiotic preparations, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, appropriate measures should be initiated. Whenever clinical judgment dictates; the patient should be examined with the aid of magnification, such as slit lamp biomicroscopy, and, where appropriate, corneal staining.

The use of this bottle by more than one person may spread infection. Keep bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Long-term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic or mutagenic potential have not been conducted with Polymyxin B Sulfate. Treatment of cultured human lymphocytes in-vitro with neomycin increased the frequency of chromosome aberrations at the highest concentrations (80 µg/mL) tested; however, the effects of neomycin on carcinogenesis and mutagenesis in humans are unknown.
Polymyxin B Sulfate has been reported to impair the motility of equine sperm, but its effects on male or female fertility are unknown.
Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with STATROL® (Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates Ophthalmic Solution, USP). It is also not known whether Neomycin Sulfate and/or Polymyxin B Sulfate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. STATROL Ophthalmic Solution should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Adverse reactions have occurred with the anti-infective components. Exact incidence figures are not available since no denominator of treated patients is available. Reactions occurring most often from the presence of the anti-infective ingredients are allergic sensitizations. (SEE WARNINGS.)
