What is Brolene Eye Drops?

Brolene Eye Drops are a type of medication used to treat minor eye infections. They contain the active ingredient Propamidine Isetionate, which is an antiseptic that helps to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause infections.

What are Brolene Eye Drops used for?

How do Brolene Eye Drops work?

Brolene Eye Drops work by utilizing the antiseptic properties of Propamidine Isetionate. This active ingredient disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria and other microorganisms, leading to their death.

Additionally, they should not be used by individuals who wear contact lenses unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist.

How to use Brolene Eye Drops

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops.
  • Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  • Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze one drop into the pocket.
  • Close your eye and gently press on the inner corner for a minute to prevent the drop from draining away.
  • Repeat for the other eye if necessary.

Brolene Eye Drops should be used as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, typically one or two drops in the affected eye(s) up to four times a day.

The duration of treatment with Brolene Eye Drops will depend on the severity of the infection. It is important to continue using the drops for the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
