How it works
Phenosulf Eye Drop is a combination of five medicines: Sulphacetamide, Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Boric Acid, and Sodium Chloride. Sulphacetamide is an antibiotic that prevents the bacteria that cause eye infections from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial replication. Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate and Boric Acid are antiseptics that treat bacterial infection in the eyes and relieve irritation. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic that blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, and watery eyes. Sodium Chloride is a purified salt solution that cleanses the eye and reduces swelling.
Quick Tips
Your doctor has prescribed Phenosulf Eye Drop to treat bacterial infections of the eye. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Burning sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer.
