Neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment is a combination medication used to treat eye infections and inflammation. It contains three active ingredients: neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and dexamethasone.
Neomycin and polymyxin B are both antibiotics that work by stopping the growth of bacteria. They are effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, which means it works by reducing inflammation. Inflammation is the body's natural response to irritation or injury, but when it occurs in the eye, it can cause discomfort and interfere with normal vision. Dexamethasone helps to reduce this inflammation and, in turn, alleviate symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain.
Together, these three ingredients work to treat a variety of eye infections caused by bacteria and reduce inflammation associated with these infections. They may also be used in certain cases after eye surgery to prevent infection and promote healing.
