Additional Information
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking chloramphenicol eye drops.
In particular, talk to your health care providers about possible allergic reactions. If you are taking other medicine, or you think you may need to use an alternative form of chloramphenicol eye drops, always remember to ask your doctor’s opinion first.
Talk to your doctor before starting any new medications as well, including vitamins and natural products. If your condition does not improve or becomes worse, call your healthcare provider. Never use this medication for a longer period of time than you have been instructed to by your doctor or in smaller/larger doses.
You may drive or operate machinery while using chloramphenicol eye drops as long as the vision is clear.
Indications and Usage
Wash your hands before you begin. Tilt your head back while pulling down your lower eyelid with a finger and put a drop of chloramphenicol in your eye. Bring the bottle tip very close to the eye and do it in front of a mirror if it helps.
Do not touch your eye, eyelid, surrounding areas, or other surfaces with the dropper, as it may infect the drops. Do not squeeze the bottle. Only a gentle press on the bottom is needed to release one drop at a time. If you use drops in both eyes, repeat the steps for your other eye.
If you forget to take a dose, do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
If you have any further questions on the use of chloramphenicol eye drops, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
