CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN

CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN Eye Ointment is a prescription ophthalmic formulation from Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. containing Polymyxin B Sulphate, Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate, and Chloramphenicol. This combination is designed to help manage bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation, providing both antibacterial action and anti-inflammatory relief when used under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.

Eye infections can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, irritation, pain, discharge, watering, and discomfort. In some cases, inflammation may accompany the infection, making the eyes more sensitive and uncomfortable. CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN combines two broad-spectrum antibiotics with a corticosteroid to help eliminate susceptible bacteria while reducing inflammation and improving patient comfort.

This medicine should only be used for bacterial eye conditions when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. It is not recommended for viral, fungal, or untreated parasitic eye infections, as corticosteroids may worsen these conditions.

Composition

Each ophthalmic ointment contains:

• Polymyxin B Sulphate
• Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate
• Chloramphenicol

How Does CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN Work?

CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN combines two antibiotics and one corticosteroid that work together to manage bacterial eye infections with inflammation.

Polymyxin B Sulphate

Polymyxin B is an antibiotic that destroys the outer membrane of susceptible bacteria, leading to bacterial cell death. It is particularly effective against several Gram-negative bacteria.

Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. It is active against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria commonly responsible for eye infections.

Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation by suppressing the body's inflammatory response. It helps relieve redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort associated with inflammatory eye conditions when bacterial infection is present.

Together, these ingredients help control bacterial growth while reducing inflammation, supporting faster recovery and improved patient comfort.
