Description:
Neomycin sulfate and Polymyxin B are sterile antibacterial
and anti-inflammatory drug products. Polymyxin B is produced by the
growth ofBacillus polymyxa. It has a potency of not less than 6,000 polymyxin
B units per mg, calculated on an anhydrous basis.
Neomycin sulfate is the sulfate salt of neomycin B and C, which are produced by the growth of Streptomyces fradiaeWaksman (Fam.Streptomycetaceae). It has a potency equivalent of not less than 600 mcg of neomycin standard per mg, calculated on an anhydrous basis.
Hydrocortisone, 11beta,17,21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, is an anti-inflammatory hormone.
Clinical Pharmacology:
Corticoids suppress the inflammatory response to a variety of agents
and they may delay healing. Since corticoids may inhibit the body's defense
mechanism against infection, a concomitant antimicrobial drug may be used
when this inhibition is considered to be clinically significant in a particular
case.
The anti-infective components in the combination are included to provide action against specific organisms susceptible to them. Polymyxin B sulfate and neomycin sulfate together are considered active against the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella-Enterobacter species,Neisseria species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This product does not provide adequate coverage against Serratia marcescens and streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumonia.
The relative potency of corticosteroids depends on the molecular structure, concentration, and release from the vehicle.
Additional Information for Polymyxin B Sulfate
When used topically, polymyxin B and neomycin are rarely irritating,
and absorption from the intact skin or mucous membrane is insignificant.
The incidence of skin sensitization to this combination has been shown
to be low on normal skin. Since these antibiotics are seldom used systemically,
the patient is spared sensitization to those antibiotics which might later
be required systemically.
When a decision to administer both a corticoid and antimicrobials is
made, the administration of such drugs in combination has the advantage
of greater patient compliance and convenience, with the added assurance
that the intended dosage of both drugs is administered, plus assured compatibility
of ingredients when both types of drugs are in the same formulation and,
particularly that the intended volume of each drug is delivered simultaneously,
thereby avoiding dilution of either medication by successive instillations
