Terramycin For Pink Eye

I have had a pink/red eye for 3 weeks now. My doctor prescribed erythromycin ophth ointment, tobramycin drops and it does not help. Should I try Terramycin? I am allergic to Bactrim which contains sulfate. Does Terramycin contain sulfate?

Hello, Christy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

How long have you been using the ointment and drops? They will take time to clear it up and won't work immediately.

No, Terramycin is not a sulfa drug, but you shouldn't use it, unless your doctor approves as it may not be appropriate to treat the type of infection you have.

Typical side effects to these topical products may include eye redness, irritation and skin rash.

I have an inflamed red eyelid. May I use Terramycin ointment? If so, where can I find it? I'm in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Hello. My doctor prescribed Tobramycin drops and Erthomycin ointment for a chalazion that burst and left inflammation in my lower eyelid. Is it okay to alternate the medications or should I stick to just one? My concern is that if there is infection, alternating will confuse the bacteria and make things worse. Thank you.
