Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment

Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment, made by Glaxo Smithkline (paaris), is an antibiotic eye ointment. Its active ingredient is Polymyxin B + Bacitracin, and it is used for bacterial eye infections, bacterial conjunctivitis and blepharitis.

Uses of Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment

Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment eye ointment is used to treat bacterial infections on the surface of the eye and eyelids, such as bacterial conjunctivitis and blepharitis. It may also be used to help prevent infection after minor eye injuries or removal of a foreign body. It does not work for viral or allergic conjunctivitis, which need different treatment.

How Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment works

The two antibiotics cover different groups of bacteria. Polymyxin B damages the outer membrane of many Gram-negative bacteria, while bacitracin stops Gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci from building their cell wall. Together they act against most common causes of surface eye infections.

Possible side effects

Polyfax Plus Skin Ointment is generally well tolerated. You may notice:

• Blurred vision for a short time after applying
• Mild stinging or burning
• Eye redness or itching
• Watery eyes

Stop using it and see a doctor urgently if you develop eye pain, swelling of the eyelids or face, worsening redness, or any loss of vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Vision is often blurred just after applying an eye ointment, so do not drive or use machinery until it clears.
• Avoid touching the tube tip to the eye, eyelashes or any other surface.
• Do not wear contact lenses while you have an eye infection.
• Use it for the full time advised, and see your doctor if there is no improvement within a few days.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before use.
