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!
Neomycin Sulfate Polymyxin B (also known as Maxitrol) is only available with a prescription.
no
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.
No. Neosporin contains a mixture of three antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B.
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 its a derivate of fungi and is come under antibiotics which have cidal effect. It binds to small ribosomal subunit and interfere with protein synthesis by directly inhibiting synthesis. e.g. Neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin. Its a broad spectrum drug
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
Polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim are not related to penicillin, so you can generally use them if you have a penicillin allergy. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.
Yes, you can generally take Maxitrol if you have an allergy to penicillin, as Maxitrol is a combination of a corticosteroid (dexamethasone) and two antibiotics (neomycin and polymyxin B) that are not related to penicillin. However, it's important to inform your healthcare provider about your allergy and any other medical conditions you have before using the medication. Always follow the advice of your healthcare professional regarding medications.
