Medicine Description chloramphenicol- 0.5%
Chloramphenicol eye drops are used to treat bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis. These drops work by stopping the growth of the bacteria that cause the infection by inhibiting the production of essential proteins, which helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and discharge resulting from the infection. The drops should be used according to the doctor's instructions in terms of the number of times and duration of treatment to avoid bacterial resistance and prevent recurrence of the infection. You should also avoid touching the tip of the dropper directly to the eye and maintain hand hygiene during use. It is not recommended to use
chloramphenicol for long periods without medical supervision to avoid potential side effects such as eye irritation or temporary loss of vision.
