This formulation is particularly useful in treating infections caused by pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. The ointment is applied topically to the affected eye(s) as prescribed, typically one or two times daily, ensuring ease of use and improved patient compliance.
Adverse effects are generally mild and may include transient ocular irritation, burning sensation, or blurred vision upon application.
