SUMMARY
Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates
and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic
Suspension
Sterile
Neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension is a multiple dose anti-infective steroid combination in sterile suspension form for topical application.
For steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions for which a corticosteroid is indicated and where bacterial infection or a risk of bacterial ocular infection exists.
Ocular corticosteroids are indicated in inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe where the inherent risk of corticosteroids use in certain infective conjunctivitides is accepted to obtain a diminution in edema and inflammation. They are also indicated in chronic anterior uveitis and corneal injury from chemical, radiation or thermal burns; or penetration of foreign bodies.
The use of a combination drug with an anti-infective component is indicated where the risk of infection is high or where there is an expectation that potentially dangerous numbers of bacteria will be present in the eye.
The particular anti-infective drug in this product is active against the following common bacterial eye pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella/Enterobacter species, Neisseria species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
This product does not provide adequate coverage against: Serratia marcescens and streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumoniae.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Clinical Trials Related to Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone (Neomycin / Polymyxin B / Dexamethasone Ophthalmic)
Trial Comparing Neomycin to Rifaximin Plus Neomycin in the Treatment of Methane Positive Subjects With Constipation Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (C-IBS) [Recruiting]
In this study the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of neomycin to a combination of
rifaximin and neomycin in the treatment of C-IBS subjects with methane on their breath test.
This study will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. John DiBaise at the Mayo Clinic in
Scottsdale, AZ.
Efficacy of the Combination Bismuth + Neomycin + Procaine in the Treatment of Recurrent Aphthous Ulceration [Not yet recruiting]
To evaluate the efficacy of the product Bismu-Jet ® (bismuth tartrate and sodium, neomycin
sulfate and procaine hydrochloride) produced by EMS S / A compared to placebo in reducing
the signs and symptoms resulting from UAR in patients of both sexes, with age over 12 years.
Efficacy Maxinom� And Maxitrol� in Reducing The Signs And Symptoms Of Acute Bacterial Conjunctivitis [Not yet recruiting]
Role of Methane in Glycemic Control [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine how certain types of bacteria in the human gut may
affect weight gain, and contribute to the development of diabetes.
The investigators initial studies have shown that gut bacteria that produce methane may
directly affect weight gain. These bacteria, called methanogens, produce methane gas as a
byproduct, which can be detected through breath testing. Methane can slow the passage of
food through the intestines, which would allow extra time for uptake and absorption of
nutrients and calories, and might contribute to weight gain. The investigators have also
found that people who have increased levels of methane-producing bacteria in their
intestines also have higher levels of glucose in their blood. Therefore, control of how the
body responds to insulin and uses glucose may be altered in methane-producing individuals.
This research study is designed to test the investigational use of the drugs neomycin and
rifaximin that have been approved by the U. S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While
neomycin is FDA-approved for treating skin infections, preparing the bowel for surgery, and
hepatic encephalopathy (a condition that occurs when a damaged liver cannot remove the
toxins that a healthy liver normally would), and rifaximin is FDA-approved for treating
travelers' diarrhea, they are not yet approved to be used together for the treatment of
methanogens or obesity.
Comparison of Combination Antibiotics Eyedrop to Artificial Tear in Hordeolum After Incision and Curettage [Recruiting]
To compare the effectiveness of combined antibiotic ophthalmic solution (neomycin sulfate,
polymyxin B sulfate and gramicidin) with placebo (artificial tear) in the treatment of
hordeolum after incision and curettage
