CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN – Triple-Action Ophthalmic Ointment for Bacterial Eye Infections and Inflammation
CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN is a prescription ophthalmic medication formulated with Polymyxin B Sulphate, Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate & Chloramphenicol Ophthalmic Ointment. This advanced combination brings together two broad-spectrum antibiotics and one corticosteroid to effectively treat bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation. It helps eliminate infection-causing bacteria while relieving redness, swelling, pain, irritation, and discomfort, allowing the eye to heal more comfortably and efficiently.
Designed for localized ophthalmic use, CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN delivers medication directly to the affected area, ensuring prolonged contact with infected tissues while minimizing systemic absorption. It is commonly prescribed by ophthalmologists for bacterial eye conditions where both infection and inflammation require treatment.
What is CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN?
CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN is a sterile ophthalmic ointment containing:
Polymyxin B Sulphate
Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate
Chloramphenicol
The dual antibiotics provide broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage, while Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling associated with bacterial eye infections.
This combination makes CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN particularly useful in treating inflammatory bacterial eye conditions under the supervision of an eye specialist.
Uses of CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN
Doctors may prescribe CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN for:
Bacterial conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Blepharitis (bacterial eyelid infection)
Superficial bacterial eye infections
Inflammatory bacterial eye conditions
Bacterial keratitis caused by susceptible organisms
Eyelid bacterial infections
Post-operative bacterial eye inflammation when recommended by an ophthalmologist
Important: This medicine is intended for bacterial infections with associated inflammation. It is not effective against viral or fungal eye infections and should not be used unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.
How CIPVISION POLYSYSTIN Works
Each ingredient has a specific therapeutic role:
Polymyxin B Sulphate
Polymyxin B damages the outer membrane of susceptible Gram-negative bacteria, causing bacterial cell death and helping control infection.
Chloramphenicol
Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. It provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many organisms responsible for ocular infections.
Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing the body's inflammatory response. It helps relieve:
Eye redness
Swelling
Pain
Irritation
Burning sensation
Excessive tearing
Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive treatment by controlling both the bacterial infection and the associated inflammation.
