Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment

Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial eye infections. It is also used to treat steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea.

Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment contains Polymyxin B, Chloramphenicol, and Dexamethasone. Polymyxin B works by damaging the bacterial cell membrane. Chloramphenicol kills the bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for survival of the bacteria. Dexamethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause swelling, itching, and redness. Together, Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment helps in treating bacterial eye infections.

In some cases, Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment may cause side effects such as a burning sensation, itchiness, irritation, and dryness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
