Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim Ophthalmic Solution USP* is a
sterile antimicrobial solution for
topical ophthalmic use. It has a pH of 4.0 to 6.2 and osmolality of
270 to 310 mOsm/kg. Trimethoprim
sulfate, a white, odorless, crystalline powder, is represented by the
following structural formula:

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 phospholipid components o
