Hi All
I have an infection in my upper eyelid and the doctor wants me to use antibiotic ointment. 3 times/day for two weeks.
Is ointment safe to take as far as the C Diff?

I have used it more than once with no problem. As long as it does not have clindamycin. I have used erythromycin and others. Other posters have used antibiotic eye drops with no issues.

I have also used Erythromycin eye ointment with no issues.
Both last year and this year, I agree with Beth. Would not use Clindamycin of any type.
