Levomycetin eye drops 0.25% 10ml

Mechanism of action

Levomycetin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic; it is effective against many gram-positive cocci (gonococci and meningococci), various bacteria (intestinal and hemophilus bacilli, salmonella, shigella, klebsiella, serration, iris, protei), rickettsia, spirochetes, and some major viruses. The drug is active against strains resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides. It is weakly active against acid-resistant bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, clostridia and protozoa.
