DESCRIPTION:

Each gram of ointment contains 500 units of Bacitracin in a

low melting special base containing White Petrolatum and
Mineral Oil.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
The antibiotic, Bacitracin, exerts a profound action against
many gram-positive pathogens, including the common
Streptococci and Staphlococci. It is also destructive for
certain gram-negative organisms. It is ineffective against
fungi.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE:
For the treatment of superficial ocular infections involving the
conjunctiva and/or cornea caused by Bacitracin susceptible
organisms.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
This product should not be used in patients with a history of
hypersensitivity to Bacitracin.
PRECAUTIONS:
Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment should not be used in deep-
seated ocular infections or in those that are likely to become
systemic. The prolonged use of antibiotic containing
preparations may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible
organisms particularly fungi. If new infections develop during
treatment appropriate antibiotic or chemotherapy should be
instituted.
ADVERSE REACTIONS:
Bacitracin has such a low incidence of allergenicity that for all
practical purposes side reactions are practically non-existent.
However, if such reaction should occur, therapy should be
discontinued.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Perrigo
at 1-866-634-9120 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or
www.fda.gov/medwatch.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
The ointment should be applied directly into the conjunctival
sac 1 to 3 times daily. In blepharitis all scales and crusts should
be carefully removed and the ointment then spread uniformly
over the lid margins. Patients should be instructed to take
appropriate measures to avoid gross contamination of the
ointment when applying the ointment directly to the infected
eye.
