About Neosporin Eye Drop

Used to reduce bacteria in the intestines, Neosporin Eye Drop is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works by destroying sensitive bacteria by cutting of the production of certain proteins needed for them to survive. Keeping this in mind, it is used to stave off the risk of infections during intestinal surgeries. It can also be used along with a certain diet to treat hepatic encephalopathy.

Neosporin Eye Drop is not to be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or to other aminoglycosides such as gentamicin. If you have bowel ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease or any intestinal obstruction, the drug is not advised to be taken. Medicines like penicillin and fludarabine and can interfere with its functioning.

Neosporin Eye Drop is to be taken orally with or without food. Do not use it for more than two weeks unless advised by your doctor. Continue using it for the full course of treatment to clear off the infection, even if you feel better.

To keep away any side effects, it may be taken at the lowest possible dosage and for the shortest period. Some of the side effects include stomach cramps, severe diarrhea, nausea and bloody stool.
