Sulfuric acid and, if necessary, sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust pH (4.0 – 5.5). Preservative: benzalkonium chloride 0.004% CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Trimethoprim is a synthetic antibacterial drug active against a wide variety of aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative ophthalmic pathogens. Trimethoprim blocks the production of tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. This binding is stronger for the bacterial enzyme than for the corresponding mammalian enzyme and therefore selectively interferes with bacterial biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Polymyxin B, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, is bactericidal for a variety of gram-negative organisms, especially _Pseudomonas aeruginosa._ It increases the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with the phospholip Read the complete document
