how often do you use
You can use Erythromycin Opthalmic Ointment USP on a horse. It is used to treat eye infections in humans but can be used on a horse.
Erythromycin ointment is perfectly fine to be used on eyelids. If you have a cut or laceration on the eyelid itself make sure that it is kept very clean. If there is a rash on the lid itself you have the option of scrubbing the lids with baby type shampoo that can help get rid of the rash. Please make sure you check with your local ophthalmologist if you are not noticing healing.
Can erythromycin be used to treat pink-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.
Gentamicin ointment is to be used externally for skin infections and such while Gentamicin ophthalmic ointment is for the eyes ONLY! Also, if it is an old prescription OR someone else's script, DO NOT use it. Even with something as simple as an antibiotic, it can be harmful is misused. Hope this helps!
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.
I have used 0.3% Tobramycin Ophthalmic eye ointment (TOBREX) on my 2 year old daughter without incident. From the website druglib.com "Clinical studies have shown tobramycin to be safe and effective for use in children."
