Etymology

Sulamyd is a brand name made from sul- from 'sulfonamide', a type of 'antibiotic', plus the short ending -myd to form a product name. A helpful way to remember it is to think 'sulfa' for an antibiotic and that it is for the eye, because Sulamyd is a sulfonamide medicine used to treat eye infections.
