How Does POLYMYXIN B + CHLORAMPHENICOL Work?

A bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by blocking protein production, preventing further bacterial replication.
Together, these ingredients neutralize the bacteria responsible for infections, speeding up recovery from bacterial eye infections and bacterial ear infections.
