Introduction

Cetacol 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.

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.

Cetacol 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.

Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up. Throw away any medicine left at the end of the 5 day course. It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms haven't started to improve within two days of starting treatment if they get worse during treatment or if you get another eye infection.
