Medicine Description statrol 5 ml
Statrol 5 ml Eye Drops is a medication that contains neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Its primary mechanism involves binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, disrupting protein synthesis and ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. Neomycin is effective against a variety of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, making it useful in treating localized infections in the eye. By inhibiting bacterial growth, Statrol helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with bacterial conjunctivitis and other ocular infections.
