Maxitrol Eye Ointment (active ingredients: dexamethasone, neomycin, and polymyxin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Bacterial Eye Infections: Maxitrol Eye Ointment is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis, caused by susceptible organisms.
  2. Inflammation Associated with Eye Infections: It is also indicated for the treatment of inflammation and swelling associated with bacterial infections of the eye.

Maxitrol Eye Ointment belongs to a class of drugs known as combination antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agents. The neomycin and polymyxin components provide antibacterial activity, while the dexamethasone component helps to reduce inflammation and swelling.

Maxitrol Eye Ointment is a type of ophthalmic ointment that is to be applied to the eye(s), usually 3 or 4 times daily, or as directed by your physician. When using this medicine, do not wear contact lenses. If you are a contact lens wearer, ensure the lenses are sterilized according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and check with a doctor before using them again.

To apply Maxitrol Eye Ointment, begin by washing your hands. To avoid contamination of the tip of the tube or your eye, be cautious not to touch the tip of your eye or any surface. Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to form a pouch. Then, apply a 1/2-inch (1.5 centimeter) strip of ointment into the pouch by gently squeezing the tube. Roll the eyeball in all directions to spread the medication. Do not rub your eye and try not to blink. Repeat these steps for your other eye if directed. Use a clean tissue to remove any extra medication before replacing the cap. Use as often as directed by your physician.

If you are using another type of eye medication, such as drops or ointments, apply the eye drops first and wait at least 5 minutes before applying this eye ointment to allow the eye drops to enter the eye. Wait at least 10 minutes after using this medication before applying another type of eye ointment.

Do not overuse Maxitrol Eye Ointment and make sure you use it for no longer than 10 days unless otherwise directed by your physician. Use Maxitrol Eye Ointment regularly to achieve optimal benefits from this medicine. If symptoms disappear after a few days, continue using the medication as directed by your physician. Stopping the medicine too soon may allow the infection to reoccur.
