Neomycin-Polymyxin-Dexameth (neomycin/polymyxin B sulfate/dexamethasone)

Dosage of neomycin sulfate is expressed in terms of the base.

Potency and dosage of polymyxin B sulfate are expressed in terms of polymyxin B activity (units of polymyxin B).

Dexamethasone or its sodium phosphate salt is applied topically to the eye or the ear. Potency of the sodium phosphate preparations is expressed in terms of dexamethasone phosphate. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the tip of the ointment tube or dropper when the drug is used ophthalmically.

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with neomycin sulfate. It is not known whether ophthalmic or otic preparations containing neomycin sulfate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and either bacitracin zinc or gramicidin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, other anti-infectives (i.e., polymyxin B sulfate, bacitracin zinc), and a corticosteroid (i.e., dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone acetate) should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.

Fixed-combination otic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, colistin, and hydrocortisone acetate should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus. Although aminoglycosides can cause congenital deafness in humans if administered during pregnancy, the manufacturers state that clinically important systemic concentrations of neomycin are not anticipated when otic preparations containing neomycin are used as directed.

Fixed-combination otic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and hydrocortisone should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.

Animal reproduction studies have not been performed with polymyxin B sulfate. It is not known whether ophthalmic preparations containing polymyxin B sulfate can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations of polymyxin B sulfate and bacitracin zinc or polymyxin B sulfate, neomycin sulfate, and either bacitracin zinc or gramicidin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Because trimethoprim may interfere with folic acid metabolism, fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim sulfate should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing polymyxin B sulfate, other anti-infectives (i.e., neomycin sulfate, bacitracin zinc), and a corticosteroid (i.e., dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone acetate) should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.

Fixed-combination otic preparations containing polymyxin B sulfate, neomycin sulfate, and hydrocortisone should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.

It is not known whether neomycin is distributed into milk.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing neomycin sulfate and other anti-infectives (i.e., bacitracin zinc, gramicidin, polymyxin B sulfate) should be used with caution in nursing women.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and dexamethasone should be used with caution in nursing women.

The manufacturers of fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, bacitracin zinc, and hydrocortisone or hydrocortisone acetate state that a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or the ophthalmic preparation, taking into account the importance of the drug to the woman.

Fixed-combination otic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, colistin, and hydrocortisone acetate and fixed-combination otic preparations containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and hydrocortisone should be used with caution in nursing women.

Fixed-combination ophthalmic preparations containing polymyxin B sulfate and other anti-infectives (i.e., bacitracin zinc, gramicidin, neomycin sulfate, trimethoprim sulfate) should be used with caution in nursing women.
