Medicine Description hydrocortisone-eye-oint 0.5%
Hydrocortisone eye ointment is used to relieve eye inflammation caused by allergic conditions or chronic irritation. It works to reduce swelling, redness, and itching through its anti-inflammatory effect. It is used under medical supervision in conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and some non-bacterial inflammatory conditions.
Hydrocortisone ointment is carefully applied inside the lower eyelid after washing your hands well. It should not be used for long periods without consulting a doctor, as excessive use may lead to side effects such as increased eye pressure or thinning of the tissues surrounding the eye. It is also important to avoid touching the tip of the tube to the eye to ensure the safety of the medication.
