Can penicillin be used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis and how does it compare to other antibiotics in terms of safety and efficacy for ocular conditions?
Yes, penicillin can be used for bacterial eye infections like conjunctivitis. It’s generally safe, but other antibiotics like erythromycin may be more effective due to broader coverage.
Penicillin can treat bacterial eye infections but may not be the first choice. Drugs like ciprofloxacin offer broader antibacterial coverage and are often preferred for ocular use.
While penicillin can treat some bacterial eye infections, it’s less commonly used than more targeted antibiotics like azithromycin, which is more effective against a wider range of bacteria.
