MAZCA!!
Hold on, please. A commonly prescribed AB therapy for bacterial conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) is Gentamicin, which is actually dispensed as EAR DROPS, since it can be used for both. Many people inthe USA ask their pharmacist in great wonder why he dispensed ear drops when eye drops were prescribed, and hear this reply. Tobramycin, another aminoglycoside antibiotic, is usually dispensed as eye drops, but can be used for ears, as well, depending on circumstances. Go figure 🙂
This must be a conspiracy by the AMA to ensure that people see accredited physicians and pay their fees, or by the pharmaceutical companies who desperately wish to be sued out of millions.
