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.
Neomycin Sulfate Polymyxin B (also known as Maxitrol) is only available with a prescription.
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?
no
No. Neosporin contains a mixture of three antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B.
Polymyxin B does not have penicillin in it, I just called my local pharmacy to ask that question and the answer is no. I should note, however, that the reason I called my pharmacist was because I used a topical ointment that contained Polymyxin B and had a very severe allergic reaction immediately after applying the ointment. I have anaphylaxis to penicillin and thought it may contain penicillin, but the pharmacist tells me it does not. He did advise me to go see my allergist again as I may have developed an allergy to another antibiotic but assured me there is no penicillin in Polymyxin B. Can't help with Neomycin, sorry!
how many hours apart you have to take neomysin and polymyxin b sulfates and hydrocortisone otic supension usp if you have to take it three times a day
This question should be directed at a qualified vet - NOT a general forum !
Yes for a short period of time. No more than 5 mins.
Neo-Poly-Bac Ophthalmic Ointment is an eye ointment. The active ingredients are the antibiotics Neomycin and Polymyxin B and Bacitracin Zinc.
ack! try a warm compress. Don't use steroid drops in anyone's eyes unless they're specifically prescribed for that patient for that purpose.
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.
There are several ingredients that make up Neosporin. They include neomycin, bacitracin, polymyxin B, cottonseed oil, petroleum jelly, cocoa butter, sodium pyruvate, and tocopheryl acetate,
