Poloptho Eye Ointment

Description

Therapy/Class: Antibiotic

Mechanism of Action:

Polymyxin B: A bactericidal cyclic lipopeptide that targets and disrupts the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacilli. It binds to lipopolysaccharides, severely altering membrane permeability and causing osmotic lysis.

Chloramphenicol: A highly lipophilic, bacteriostatic agent that diffuses rapidly across ocular tissues, binding reversibly to the 50S ribosomal subunit to interrupt peptidyl transferase activity and block bacterial protein synthesis.

Indications
