I've been dealing with a persistent eye infection for a few weeks now, and my doctor prescribed Neo/poly/bac/hc Ophth Oint 3.5gm. It's an eye ointment containing three antibiotics (bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin B) and a steroid (hydrocortisone) to reduce swelling, redness, and itching. I've started using it, but I want to hear from others who might have used this medication before. How effective was it for you? Did you experience any side effects? Any tips on how to apply it for maximum effectiveness? I've read about some serious side effects, so I'm a bit nervous. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I was prescribed Neo/poly/bac Ophth Oint to treat a bacterial eye infection, and while it seems to be working, I've been experiencing some worrying side effects. The ointment contains bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, which are supposed to kill various types of bacteria. However, I've been dealing with some severe eye irritation and a bit of eye discharge. I'm not sure if these are normal or if I should be worried. Has anyone else had similar experiences? The urgent side effects list is a bit scary, and I'm not sure if these symptoms fall into that category. Just want to know if I should call my doctor or tough it out. Also, if anyone has had any other weird side effects, I'd love to hear about them and if they were managed in any effective way. Also, does anyone know how to report side effects to the FDA? I looked it up, but it's not clear to me so far.

I was recently prescribed Tobramycin 0.3% Oph Sol 5ml for a bacterial eye infection. It's an antibiotic that helps stop the bacterial growth, but I've been having some mild irritation. I'm wondering if anyone else has used this and had similar experiences? The side effects list is pretty long, and I'm a bit worried about the more serious ones. Does anyone have any tips or advice on managing the irritation or any of the other potential side effects? I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any insights would be much appreciated!
