Bacitracin Warnings
Here is the essential safety and warning information regarding the use of this medication. Please read carefully and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
Allergic Reactions: Although uncommon, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to bacitracin eye ointment. Symptoms can include itching, redness, and swelling of the eyes and eyelids. If your infection does not improve or if these symptoms occur, discontinue use and inform your healthcare provider immediately.
Difficult-to-Treat Eye Infections: Prolonged use of bacitracin eye ointment may lead to eye infections that are resistant to treatment. This occurs when bacteria become resistant to certain antibiotics. It is crucial to adhere strictly to the duration prescribed by your healthcare provider. If your eye infection worsens or you experience symptoms such as thick mucus discharge, swelling, or pain, stop using the ointment and contact your provider. The risk is increased by using the medication longer than recommended.
