Summary
1. This agent offers a decided advantage in presentation of an antibiotic.2. Chief therapeutic advantage is in the therapy of marginal blepharitis3. In these economic times, tends are to generics and in the case of self limited bacterial infections, no therapy at all.
Analysis
Chronic bacterial conjunctivitis often resides in the lids and lacrimal ducts. This novel antibioitic presentation permits a sustained delivery of a drug that is often readily excreted.
However, the advantage of an expensive antibiotic may not be at all applicable in an economic time in which the trends are to generic antibiotics that have a documented record of clinical outcomes.
More importantly is the notion, that we clinicians often over treat self limited bacterial infections.
