About Imix Eye Drop

CHLORAMPHENICOL+POLYMYXIN B belongs to a combination of medicines called 'antibiotics' primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the eye (optic) and ear (otic). The bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. CHLORAMPHENICOL+POLYMYXIN B does not work against infections caused by virus and fungus.

CHLORAMPHENICOL+POLYMYXIN B is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Polymyxin B and Chloramphenicol. Polymyxin B is bactericidal, which kills the bacterial cell by preventing bacterial cell walls' formation essential for their survival. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic, which prevents bacteria's growth by inhibiting the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in numbers. Together CHLORAMPHENICOL+POLYMYXIN B prevent spread of eye and ear infections caused by a wide range of gram-negative bacteria causing eye/ear infections.
