DESCRIPTION:
Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc Ophthalmic
Ointment is a sterile antimicrobial
ointment for ophthalmic use. Each gram contains: neomycin sulfate
equivalent to 3.5 mg neomycin base,
polymyxin B sulfate equivalent to 10,000 polymyxin B units, bacitracin
zinc equivalent to 400 bacitracin
units in a white petrolatum and mineral oil base.
Neomycin sulfate is the sulfate salt of neomycin B and C, which are
produced by the growth of
_Streptomyces fradiae_ Waksman (Fam. _Streptomycetaceae_). It has a
potency equivalent of not less than 600
μg of neomycin standard per mg, calculated on an anhydrous basis. The

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
A wide range of antibacterial action is provided by the overlapping
spectra of neomycin, polymyxin B
sulfate, and bacitracin.
Neomycin is bactericidal for many gram-positive and gram-negative
organisms. It is an aminoglycoside
antibiotic which inhibits protein synthesis by binding with ribosomal
RNA and causing misreading of
the bacterial genetic code.
Polymyxin B is bactericidal for a variety of gram-negative organisms.
It increases the permeability of
the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with the phospholipid
