About Verixin Eye Drop

Verixin Eye Drop belongs to a combination of medicines called 'antibiotics,' primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the eye. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter any part of the eyeball or surrounding tissues, including the cornea (front surface of the eye) and the lining of the outer eye and inner eyelids (conjunctiva).

Verixin Eye Drop is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Polymyxin B and Chloramphenicol. Polymyxin B is bactericidal, killing bacteria by preventing the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for their survival. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic, which prevents bacterial growth by inhibiting the production of essential proteins necessary for bacterial growth and multiplication. Verixin Eye Drop prevents the spread of eye infections caused by a wide range of gram-negative bacteria.

Use Verixin Eye Drop as prescribed by your doctor. This medicine is intended for use in the eyes only. Do not swallow or inject Verixin Eye Drop. You are advised to use this medicine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience redness, itching, irritation, burning/stinging sensations in the eyes, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, eyelid swelling, itching, or crusting as side effects. Most of these side effects of Verixin Eye Drop do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if any of these side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Verixin Eye Drop or any other medicines, please inform your doctor. Verixin Eye Drop should be used with caution in children. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Verixin Eye Drop. You are recommended not to use contact lenses during the course of Verixin Eye Drop as it may worsen the infection. If you experience any new eye problems, an eye infection, or notice any allergic reactions such as itching, redness of the eye, or a skin rash, please consult your doctor immediately. You are advised to maintain a 10-minute time gap between using Verixin Eye Drop and other eye drops. Please do not contact the container tip to the eye, eyelids, or surrounding areas, as it may contaminate Verixin Eye Drop and cause eye infections.

Medicinal Benefits

Verixin Eye Drop is a combination of two antibiotics: Polymyxin B and Chloramphenicol. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, like conjunctivitis. Polymyxin B is bactericidal (kills bacteria) in nature, inhibiting bacterial cell wall formation required for their survival. Thus, it prevents the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic (prevents bacterial growth) in nature, with excellent eye penetration, and exhibits broad-spectrum coverage against various bacteria that cause eye infections by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for bacterial survival.
