Dibromopropamidine isetionate

Propamidine and dibromopropamidine isetionates are aromatic diamidine antiseptics. They have been used for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis for more than 60 years and have always been available without prescription, but chloramphenicol is considered the drug of choice and the British National Formulary regards propamidine and dibromopropamidine as of little value. 

Eye drops are formulated with propamidine isetionate 0.1% and eye ointment with dibromopropamidine isetionate 0.15%. Both can be used for adults and children.
