How it Works

Cortecycline Eye Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Tetracycline and Hydrocortisone which treat eye infection. Tetracycline is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Hydrocortisone is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.
