Introduction
SM Polytet Eye Ointment is a combination topical antibiotic containing polymyxin B sulphate and oxytetracycline hydrochloride. It is applied directly to the lower eyelid several times a day as directed by your doctor, and the full course should be completed even if your eye starts to feel better. Temporary blurred vision may occur immediately after application, so avoid driving until your vision clears. Use the ointment only as directed for the eye and avoid touching the tube tip to the eye or other surfaces to help prevent contamination. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment, particularly if you have a history of kidney problems.
Dosage
For adults and children, apply approximately half an inch of ointment to the lower eyelid of the affected eye, 2 to 4 times daily, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Continue treatment for the full duration prescribed, even if your symptoms improve before the course is complete.
Side Effects
- Temporary blurred vision immediately after application
- Mild eye irritation or stinging
- Redness of the eye
- Itching around the application site
- Allergic reactions such as swelling of the eyelids, face, or lips (rare, seek immediate medical attention)
- Severe rash, itchiness, or fever as signs of a broader allergic reaction (rare)
How to Store
Store the ointment in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
