Clinical Pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacology trimethoprim is a synthetic antibacterial drug active against a wide variety of aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative ophthalmic pathogens. trimethoprim blocks the production of tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. this binding is very much stronger for the bacterial enzyme than for the corresponding mammalian enzyme and therefore selectively interferes with bacterial biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. polymyxin b, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, is rapidly bactericidal for a variety of gram-negative organisms, especially pseudomonas aeruginosa . it increases the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with the phospholipid components of the membrane. blood samples were obtained from 11 human volunteers at 20 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours following instillation in the eye of 2 drops of ophthalmic solution containing 1 mg trimethoprim and 10,000 units pol Read more...
