A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

MAXITROL (Neomycin/polymyxin/dexamethasone) is a prescription eye medication that contains a combination of different medications including neomycin, polymyxin, and dexamethasone.
MAXITROL is prescribed to treat different inflammatory eye conditions. It is effective against bacterial infections and also reduces inflammation, swelling, and redness.
Directions
The MAXITROL dosage will be determined by your doctor.
The usual dose is: Instill 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) four to six times daily. For those with severe disease, MAXITROL may be used more often as directed by the prescriber.
If the symptoms do not improve after two days, tell your doctor.
Ingredients
The active ingredients in MAXITROL are neomycin, polymyxin, and dexamethasone.
Neomycin and polymyxin are antibacterial medications. Neomycin works by preventing bacterial cells from replicating. Polymyxin creates holes in bacterial membranes that cause them to leak their contents, killing the bacteria.
Dexamethasone is a steroid that works by lowering the activity of the immune system. It reduces swelling, redness, and inflammation.
Interactions
MAXITROL is not known to interact with other medications because it does not absorb into the bloodstream.
Cautions
Do not touch the tip of the eyedropper to the eye or other non-sterile surfaces. The bottle can become contaminated and cause a secondary infection.
Use MAXITROL as directed by the doctor. Using it for longer than prescribed can increase the risk of glaucoma or increased intraocular pressure.
Use with caution if you have a history of ocular herpes simplex.
