Directions

For adults and children 2 years old and over: Administer one drop into the affected eye every two hours for the initial 48 hours.
Followed by one every four hours. This should be done only during waking hours. 
The treatment duration is five days. 
Continue the treatment for the full five days, even if symptoms show improvement.


Warnings

Should symptoms persist or worsen after 48 hours, or if there is no resolution within five days, it is advised to seek advice from a healthcare professional.


Always read the label.

  • Systemic absorption of chloramphenicol from the eye can lead to toxicity.
  • For severe bacterial conjunctivitis or beyond-conjunctiva infections, combine with systemic treatment and seek medical advice.
  • Topical chloramphenicol use might encourage the growth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. Consult a doctor if a new infection arises.
  • Avoid prolonged or frequent use to prevent sensitisation and resistant organism development.
  • Consult a doctor if using for more than 5 days.
  • Extremely rare cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis linked to chloramphenicol use.
