About Chloint-PX Eye Ointment 5 gm

Chloint-PX Eye Ointment 5 gm is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial eye infections. It is also used to treat steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea.
 
Chloint-PX Eye Ointment 5 gm contains Polymyxin B, Chloramphenicol, and Dexamethasone. Polymyxin B works by damaging the bacterial cell membrane.
