Maxitrol (Neomycin Sulfate, Polymyxin B Sulfate, Dexamethasone)

Neomycin and polymyxin B act as antibiotics: neomycin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, while polymyxin B disrupts the cell membrane of Gram‑negative organisms. Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid that binds intracellular receptors, suppressing inflammatory mediators and reducing swelling, redness, and pain.

The dosing regimen for Maxitrol is determined by the prescribing eye‑care professional based on the severity of infection, the specific condition being treated, and patient factors. The prescriber will provide detailed instructions on the number of drops, frequency, and duration of therapy.

Safety data for Maxitrol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Because dexamethasone is a corticosteroid and the antibiotics may be systemically absorbed, the product should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk. The prescriber should evaluate each case individually.

To request Maxitrol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After verification of trade or institutional credentials, the sales team will respond with pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Compared with single‑agent antibiotic drops, Maxitrol offers both antimicrobial activity and anti‑inflammatory control in one formulation, which can simplify treatment regimens. Unlike steroid‑only drops, it also addresses the underlying infection. Choice of therapy depends on the clinical picture, microbial susceptibility and physician preference.

Store Maxitrol at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect the bottle from moisture and direct light. Do not freeze. After opening, keep the dropper tip clean and replace the cap tightly to maintain sterility.

Maxitrol is applied topically to the eye. The prescribed number of drops is placed into the conjunctival sac, usually several times a day. Patients should wash their hands before use, avoid touching the tip to the eye or any surface, and wait a few minutes before applying other eye medications.

Serious risks include a rise in intra‑ocular pressure that can lead to glaucoma, secondary infections such as fungal or bacterial overgrowth, and severe allergic reactions that may present as angioedema or anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these events occur.

Maxitrol should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to neomycin, polymyxin B, dexamethasone, or any excipients. It is also contraindicated for viral or fungal eye infections, and for patients with uncontrolled glaucoma or a history of steroid‑induced ocular hypertension.
