Uses of Chlorophenicol Eye Ointment

  • Bacterial infection
  • Gut infection
  • Skin infection
  • Dental infection

Benefits of Chlorophenicol Eye Ointment

In Bacterial infection
Chlorophenicol treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection
Chlorophenicol clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection
Chlorophenicol treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection
Chlorophenicol treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.

How Chlorophenicol Eye Ointment works

Chloramphenicol kills or stops the growth of the bacteria causing your infection.

How to take Chlorophenicol Eye Ointment

Wash your hands. Tilt your head back, pull the lower lid down to make a small pocket and squeeze one drop into it, then close the eye gently for a minute. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, your fingers or any surface. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Chlorophenicol Eye Ointment

Most side effects of Chlorophenicol are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Metallic taste
  • Loose motions
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
