How it works
Sulfin Eye Drop is a combination of four medicines: Sulphacetamide and Boric Acid which treat eye infections. Sulphacetamide is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a vitamin required for bacterial multiplication. Boric Acid and Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate are antiseptics which treat bacterial infection in the eye and relieve irritation. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which works by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation (redness and swelling).
Quick Tips
Your doctor has prescribed Sulfin 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.
