Generally, no. Bacitracin ointment should not be applied near the eye unless it is Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment. Even that medicine, however, is only useful against bacterial infections, and only some of those. Most cases of "pink eye" are caused by viruses, and are therefore not treatable with Bacitracin.


Can lidocaine be mixed with sotradecol?

If the lidocaine is administered as an ointment, to minimize the pain of a sotradecol injection, there should be no undue interaction difficulty. However, if the two substances are actually mixed and then placed on the skin as an ointment, or injected together in one shot, it is possible that lidocaine absorption would be enhanced, beyond what it otherwise would have been. Either two shots, or one shot and one ointment application, should be OK; one shot, or a mixed ointment, is risky.

Will Sulfacetamide Sodium Ophthalmic Solution help even if past expiration date?

If the expiration date for any kind of drug finished you should get rid of it, this is related to shelf life and drug stability, when it is expired the preservative used to protect drug from any foreign substances that may harm the medication, when it is expired it can't keep drug stable and effective. Ophthalmic drugs are manufactured in a very sensitive procedures, this is due to high sensitivity of the Eye, that's why when a drug is expired specially ophthalmic you shouldn't use it.
