Polymyxin b sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution for ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effective: Topical medications for the eyes are formulated differently than medications for the ear, and may not penetrate properly or may irritate. Eye drops are for eyes and not ears and vice-versa.
