Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment is a combination of three medicines used to treat bacterial infections of the eyes, relieving pain, itching, discomfort, and irritation. Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment is strictly advised to be used only in the eyes. Use it in the prescribed dose and duration. Apply it only to the affected eyes. You must wash your hand before administering the medicine. Do not use it more than the recommended dose. The medicine should not be stopped suddenly without a doctor's consultation. It is generally safe, but it may sometimes cause discomfort, irritation, and burning sensation in the eyes. These effects are mild and go away in some time. However, if these effects persist, you should consult the doctor immediately.
Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment is a combination of two antibiotics (Chloramphenicol and Polymyxin B) and a steroid (Dexamethasone). The antibiotics work by killing the bacteria or stopping their growth. Together, they treat your eye infection effectively. The steroid blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy.
Can I stop using Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment when my symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not stop using Hydromycin-D Eye Ointment until your doctor has given you the all clear. It is crucial to finish the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor for complete eradication of infection. Continuing use even after symptom relief can help ensure a healthy and faster recovery.
