Long term use of Polysporin

by Whitesmith, Mar 12, 2008 11:10AM
I've had great results after recently starting a once a day regimen of polysporin ointment for treatment of blepharitis. Will this treatment be effective in the long term, what is the likelihood that I will form some kind of tolerance? Thanks

Long term resistance HIGH.  Better short term (3-6 weeks) and then concentrate on removing oil debris from the lids. Use TheraTears SteriLids Foam eyelid cleaner.
