Description

Erythromycin 0.5% Ophthalmic Ointment 3.5 gm is a topical antibiotic treatment used for managing bacterial infections of the eye. The ointment contains 0.5% erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic effective against a range of gram-positive bacteria and certain gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and other ocular infections where bacterial involvement is suspected.

The ointment is formulated for direct application to the affected eye or eyelid, where it works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This action prevents the growth and multiplication of bacteria, thereby alleviating infection symptoms and promoting healing. The 3.5 gm tube provides a sufficient quantity of ointment for the treatment of various infections, allowing for multiple applications as directed by a healthcare provider.

Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment is typically applied to the conjunctival sac of the eye, where it forms a protective barrier that maintains a therapeutic concentration of the antibiotic at the site of infection. The ointment's semi-solid consistency ensures prolonged contact with the ocular surface, enhancing its effectiveness.

The formulation is manufactured to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring its safety and efficacy. Each tube is individually packaged to maintain sterility and prevent contamination. Proper application and adherence to prescribed usage are essential for optimal treatment outcomes and to minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance or experiencing adverse effects.
