INDICATIONS
AND USES
For the treatment of superficial ocular infections involving the conjunctiva
and/or cornea caused by organisms susceptible to Ilotycin®.
For prophylaxis of ophthalmia neonatorum due to N. gonorrhoeae or C.
trachomatis.
The effectiveness of erythromycin in the prevention of ophthalmia caused by
penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae is not established.
For infants born to mothers with clinically apparent gonorrhea, intravenous
or intramuscular injections of aqueous crystalline penicillin G should be given;
a single dose of 50,000 units for term infants or 20,000 units for infants of
low birth weight. Topical prophylaxis alone is inadequate for these infants.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
In the treatment of superficial ocular infections, Ophthalmic Ointment ILOTYCIN®
approximately 1 cm in length should be applied directly to the infected eye(s)
up to six times daily, depending on the severity of the infection.
For prophylaxis of neonatal gonococcal or chlamydial ophthalmia, a ribbon of
ointment approximately 1 cm in length should be instilled into each lower conjunctival
sac. The ointment should not be flushed from the eye following instillation.
A new tube should be used for each infant.
