ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Corticoids suppress the inflammatory response to a variety
of agents and they may delay healing.
Since corticoids may inhibit the body's defense mechanism against
infection, a concomitant
antimicrobial drug may be used when this inhibition is considered to
be clinically significant in a
particular case.
The anti-infective components in the combination are included to
provide action against specific
organisms susceptible to them. Polymyxin B sulfate and neomycin
sulfate together are
considered active against the following microorganisms:
_S. aureus, E. coli, H. influenzæ, _
_Klebsiella-Enterobacter_
species,
_Neisseria_
species and
_P. æruginosa_
. This product does not
provide adequate coverage against
_S. marcescens_
and
_Streptococci_
, including
_S. pneumoniæ_
When used topically, polymyxin B, bacitracin and neomycin are rarely
irritating and absorption
from the intact skin or mucous membrane is insignificant. The
incidence of skin sensitization to
this combination has been shown to be low on normal skin. Since these
antibiotics are seldom
used systemically, the patient is spared sensitization to those
antibiotics which might later be
required systemically.
The relative potency of corticosteroids depends on the molecular
structure, concentration, and
r
