    great explanation – thanks!

  3. why are they not commercially available?

  4. How do you write an Rx for fortified antibiotics? Do you specify concentrations? Do you add amphotericinB to Vancomycin and Tobramycin?

    1. Yes, I might write fortified RX like this.

      Fortified antibiotics:
      Vancomycin 25mg/cc 1 drop in eye q2 hours
      Tobramycin 14mg/cc 1 drop in eye q2 hours

      I don’t use ampho unless I suspect fungal infection. If so … I’ve probably referred to a corneal specialist by this point and let them order the anti-fungals.
