It's an eye medication used to treat conjunctivitis (also known as "pink eye"). The combo contains antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory (steroid).
Neo-Poly-Bac Ophthalmic Ointment is an eye ointment. The active ingredients are the antibiotics Neomycin and Polymyxin B and Bacitracin Zinc.
My vet prescribed Fougera brand Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc Ophthalmic Ointment USP for use in my dog when she had an eye infection.
how often do you use
Neomycin, Polymyxin b sulfates, and bacitracin zinc ophthalmic ointments are typically sold as 'triple antibiotics' they each treat bacterial infections and work in conjuncture with each other to kill bacterial infections. Yes they can be used on horses, you can get name brand or generic products that contain all three (hence the 'triple antibiotic' label). However you should consult your equine veterinarian before using any medication on or near a horses eyes.
I have found that it is not available OTC.
My dog had an eye surgery, do I apply neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates bacitracin zinc opthalmic ointment usp to the eyelid where a growth was removed or to the eyeball itself?
A thick, spreadable substance that contains medicine and is meant to be used on the skin, or, if it is specifically an ophthalmic, or "eye" ointment, in the eye,
A triple antibiotic ointment for use in the eyes. I purchased this at the vet and found it is the same as Vetropolycin, which you can purchase online.
Yes, as it is not a part of the penicillin family.
No...triple antibiotic (neosporin) is bacitracin, neomycin, & polymixin B. Polysporin is bacitacin and polymixin B. Very similar though, just not identical!
There are no known drug interactions between antibiotic ointment and the birth control pill. You can use Bactroban, Neomycin, etc. without worrying about a back up method.
