topical ophthalmic antibacterial

Azithral Eye Ointment 1% is a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic ointment primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections in both adults and children. It contains Azithromycin (1% w/w), which works by binding to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis, effectively halting bacterial growth and clearing the infection. Primary Uses • Bacterial Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): It is most commonly prescribed to treat outer eye surface infections, specifically pink eye, caused by susceptible strains of bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the Streptococcus mitis group. • Other Surface Eye Infections: It helps clear bacterial infections affecting the eyelids and the conjunctival membranes surrounding the eyeball.
