Description
Eye Infections often cause pain, redness and inflammation. The most common eye infections include conjunctivitis, blepharitis and styes.
Chloramphenicol is an antibacterial eye ointment used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis. It helps to alleviate symptoms like redness, swelling, and discharge by targeting the bacteria causing the infection. The ointment is suitable for adults and children over the age of 2 and can be bought over the counter for cases of conjunctivitis.
Chloramphenicol works by stopping the growth of bacteria, providing relief from symptoms. It is commonly used 3-4 times daily or at bedtime if used alongside eye drops. The ointment may cause blurred vision temporarily after application, so activities like driving should be avoided until vision clears.
