A member asked:
Is polymyxin b sulfate a good ointment for sore eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Polymyxin b is a good antibiotic if there is infection as a cause for the soreness. There are many other causes and better eyedrops for other conditions. Check with you ophthalmologist to sort this out.
