Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment: Oxytetracycline + Polymyxin B Antibiotic Eye Ointment for Bird and Animal Eye Infections (1/8 oz)

Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment is a broad-spectrum antibiotic eye ointment for preventing and treating surface eye infections. It treats conjunctivitis (pink eye), keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), corneal ulcers and blepharitis (inflamed eyelids). It combines two antibiotics. Oxytetracycline HCl works against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Polymyxin B sulfate acts fast against gram-negative bacteria and is the antibiotic of choice for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and there’s evidence it also has some antifungal activity. Together the two work at least additively and often synergistically, giving stronger action than either one alone. The label covers birds, dogs, cats, cattle, sheep and horses, including eye infections that follow other diseases, such as distemper in dogs.
