Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and Bacterial Killing: Selecting the Most Effective Agent
Recent work has challenged conventional thinking about the meaning and determinants of antibiotic potency in the ocular situation. At the same time, new topical antibiotic formulations have emerged with properties different from other drugs in the class, changing the options available to physicians.
By being made aware of these findings, ophthalmologists will be better able to evaluate new medications and select optimal antibiotic agents, especially for surgical prophylaxis.
This issue of Rethinking Ocular Antiinfectives is presented as both a print
report report and a video--participants can choose the format they prefer. This installment will discuss different components of topical antibiotic formulations that can affect drug efficacy in the eye.
