Warnings and precautions
Never let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid or fingers — that is how a bottle becomes contaminated and causes a worse infection. Discard the bottle one month after you first open it, even if drops remain. Remove soft contact lenses before instilling drops and wait fifteen minutes before putting them back, unless the drops are specifically made for use with lenses. Seek same-day care for eye pain, marked redness, sensitivity to light or any loss of vision. Steroid eye drops must only be used under medical supervision — used wrongly they can raise eye pressure and damage sight. Glaucoma drops must be used every day for life; there are no symptoms until sight is already lost.
Do not take Lotel if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to the preservative in the preparation.
Interactions with other medicines
Beta blocker eye drops can be absorbed enough to slow the heart and tighten the airways — tell your doctor if you have asthma or a heart condition.
How to store Lotel Eye Ointment
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Discard the bottle one month after you first open it, even if some is left. Keep out of the reach of children.
Expert advice for Lotel Eye Ointment
Your doctor has prescribed Lotel Eye Ointment to treat redness and swelling (inflammation) of the eye. Do not use Lotel Eye Ointment for more than the prescribed duration as it may cause glaucoma or secondary infection. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle. Do not stop taking Lotel Eye Ointment suddenly without talking to your doctor first as it may worsen your symptoms.
