Azithral Eye Drops contains Azithromycin (1%w/w).
Azithral Eye Ointment is used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections.
Azithral Eye Ointment is an antibiotic. It works by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing, and prevents the infection from spreading.
This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the tube close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the tube and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Take the missed dose of Azithral as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
Taking more Azithral than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Azithral are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
