Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of proteins required by bacteria to carry out their vital functions. Dexamethasone is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Phenyl Mercuric Nitrate is an antimicrobial preservative. Polymyxin B is an antibiotic that disrupts the outer cell membrane of certain (gram negative bacteria), and inhibits respiration of bacterial cells.
