CPNET-DX Eye Ointment

Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of many different types of bacteria that can cause eye infections. It does this by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce proteins, which are essential for their survival and multiplication. This helps to clear up bacterial infections in the eye.

Polymyxin B Sulphate

Polymyxin B Sulphate is another antibiotic, specifically effective against certain types of bacteria, particularly Gram-negative bacteria. It works by disrupting the outer membrane of bacterial cells, causing them to leak and eventually die. When combined with Chloramphenicol, it provides a wider range of bacterial coverage, making the ointment more effective against various eye infections.

Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate

Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate is a potent corticosteroid (steroid). Its primary role is to reduce inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching. It works by calming down the body's immune response, which often overreacts during allergic reactions or in inflammatory conditions like allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, or eczema. By reducing inflammation, it helps to relieve discomfort and promote healing in the affected eye and surrounding skin.
