Neomycin Ophthalmic Ointment is a sterile eye preparation containing neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that acts against susceptible bacteria. It is used in certain formulations for the topical treatment of superficial bacterial infections affecting the external eye and surrounding structures.
Some ophthalmic products combine neomycin with other antibacterial agents, such as polymyxin B and bacitracin. Combination products may have different ingredient concentrations, approved uses and precautions.
This medicine is intended for ophthalmic use only. The exact formulation and appropriate indication should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s product label.
Neomycin-containing ophthalmic ointments may be prescribed for selected superficial bacterial infections of the external eye caused by susceptible organisms.
Potential clinical applications of appropriately authorized formulations include:
Not every red or irritated eye is caused by bacteria. Viral conjunctivitis, fungal infections, allergies and other eye conditions require different assessments and may require different treatment.
Use Neomycin Ophthalmic Ointment exactly as directed by an ophthalmologist or the product leaflet.
Wash your hands before application, avoid touching the tube tip to the eye or other surfaces, and follow the prescribed application instructions. Do not share the tube with another person.
Do not apply a skin ointment inside the eye. Ophthalmic preparations must be sterile and specifically formulated for use in the eye.
The frequency and duration of treatment depend on the precise formulation and the infection being treated. Seek medical assessment if symptoms worsen or fail to improve within the period specified by the product instructions.
Possible adverse effects include:
Neomycin is known to cause sensitization in some individuals. Stop using the product and seek medical advice if a new rash, increasing swelling or other signs of an allergic reaction develop.
Severe eye pain, sensitivity to light, changes in vision or significant worsening of symptoms require prompt medical assessment.
Before using Neomycin Ophthalmic Ointment, tell your healthcare professional about known allergies to neomycin, other aminoglycoside antibiotics or any additional ingredients in the product.
Important precautions include:
Do not use the ointment for serious eye injuries or suspected corneal damage without urgent professional assessment. Follow the exact product leaflet for all contraindications and warnings.
Store the ointment according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the tube and carton. Keep the cap securely closed, avoid contaminating the nozzle and do not use the product beyond its expiry date.
Follow any product-specific instructions concerning storage after opening and the period for which the tube may be used.
