CPH 5gm

Description of Chloramphenicol 1.0% + Hydrocortisone Acetate 0.5% Eye Ointment – CPH Eye Ointment is an antibiotic, which is a type of drug used to treat bacterial infections in the eyes (optic). It’s used to treat infections of the eyelids, cornea, conjunctiva, and anterior ocular segment. When harmful bacteria infiltrate any region of the eyeball or surrounding tissues, such as the cornea and the lining of the outer and inner eyelids, bacterial eye infection ensues. Red eyes, pain, eye discharge, watery eyes, dry eyes, light sensitivity, swollen eyes, itching, and blurred vision are all frequent signs of eye infections.

Chloramphenicol and Hydrocortisone Acetate Eye Ointment are two drugs used to make the ointment. Hydrocortisone is a steroid drug that reduces itching, discomfort, and swelling (inflammation) of the eye by calming down the body’s immunological reaction. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic, meaning it prevents germs from growing by preventing the creation of key proteins that bacteria need to develop, replicate, and multiply. It reduces the spread of eye infections caused by a wide spectrum of gram-negative bacteria when administered together as a combination product.

Uses

The eye ointment Chloramphenicol with Hydrocortisone Acetate is used to treat bacterial infections of the eyes like conjunctivitis and pink eye. It reduces discomfort, swelling, redness, stinging, and irritation in the eyes by stopping the growth of germs that cause infection. Use it for at least a week or as directed by your physician. Chloramphenicol and Hydrocortisone Acetate Eye Ointment may help to alleviate your symptoms. Make sure, however, that you finish the entire treatment course. This will ensure that the illness is fully healed and that it does not return.

Side Effects

The ointment is extremely safe to use, and adverse effects are extremely rare. If any symptoms appear and last for a long time, seek medical help and follow your doctor’s instructions. The following are some of the medication’s most common side effects:

• Itching eyes
• Blurred vision
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Redness in eyes
• Eyelid swelling
• Irritation, burning, or stinging sensation in the eyes

Precautions

• Without contacting a doctor, Chloramphenicol and Hydrocortisone Acetate Eye Ointment should not be used for an eye infection caused by a virus or another form of eye infection (e.g., tuberculosis, fungus).
• After applying the ointment, your eyesight becomes blurry for a short time, therefore you should avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in any activity that requires clear vision.
• Long-term use can increase the risk of intraocular pressure (glaucoma), which can damage the optic nerve and result in vision impairment.
• Regular eye exams are therefore recommended to monitor intraocular pressure. As an excipient, the ointment contains benzalkonium chloride, which might discolour soft lenses, thus avoid wearing soft lenses for at least a few days after using it.
