how often do you use
Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment is not recommended for treating nail fungus. It is primarily used to treat eye infections caused by bacteria. For nail fungus, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options such as antifungal medications or topical treatments specifically designed for nail fungus.
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!
Yes, you can typically use bacitracin ophthalmic ointment if you are allergic to Zithromax (azithromycin), as they are different medications with different active ingredients. Bacitracin is an antibiotic that is used topically for bacterial infections, while Zithromax is a macrolide antibiotic. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using any new medication, especially if you have known allergies.
It is not recommended to use bacitracin ophthalmic ointment for a zit under your upper eyelid, as it is specifically formulated for treating bacterial infections of the eye and eyelid. Applying it to an acne lesion may not be effective and could potentially cause irritation. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options for skin issues in that area.
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.
