Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment is a type of antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in the eye. It comes in the form of an ointment that you apply directly to the eye. This medication helps to eliminate bacteria causing the infection, providing relief from symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discomfort.
Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment treats bacterial eye infections, including conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye). It helps to reduce symptoms like redness, swelling, and discharge. In some cases, doctors may prescribe it for other types of bacterial infections in the eye.
Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The active ingredient, chloramphenicol, interferes with the bacteria’s ability to produce proteins necessary for their growth and reproduction. By stopping the bacteria from multiplying, the ointment helps your body’s immune system to eliminate the infection more effectively.
Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment is suitable for adults and children over the age of 2 years who have bacterial eye infections. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. People who have a history of allergic reactions to chloramphenicol or any other ingredients in the ointment should avoid using it. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Additionally, if you have a history of blood disorders or bone marrow problems, you should inform your doctor before using this ointment.
Apply Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment 3 to 4 times a day, or as directed by your doctor.
Continue using the ointment for at least 48 hours after your symptoms have improved to ensure the infection is completely cleared.
Like all medications, Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment can cause side effects. Below are some common, uncommon, and serious side effects you may experience.
For a full list of side effects, please refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.
