Opticol Eye Drop is an antibiotic that fights bacteria, used to treat infections of the eye caused by bacteria. Opticol Eye Drop helps to improve your symptoms and cure the underlying infection. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely for administering this medicine in the eye. It should be used regularly at evenly spaced time intervals as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.
Opticol Eye Drop is an antibiotic which stops the growth of bacteria that cause eye infections. It does so by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. This does not directly kill the bacteria but prevents them from increasing in numbers and eventually clears up the eye infection.
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.
- Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
- Do not touch the tip to any surface or to your eye to avoid contamination.
- Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
- You should continue using the medicine for 48 hours after your symptoms have cleared up. However do not use for longer than five days without consulting your doctor.
- It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines.
