Niolox Eye Drop Substitute

Niolox Eye Drop treats bacterial eye infections, including conjunctivitis and cornea ulcers. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a common bacterial infection associated with the inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid.

Niolox Eye Drop works by inhibiting DNA gyrase (bacterial enzyme) involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and clears the infection.

You are not recommended to wear contact lenses while using Niolox Eye Drop as it contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that changes the colour of contact lens as it may be absorbed by soft contact lens. Benzalkonium chloride also causes irritation in the eye especially if you have disorders of cornea (transparent layer at the front of eye) or dry eyes. Therefore, you are advised to remove contact lenses before using Niolox Eye Drop and reinsert them after 15 minutes after using Niolox Eye Drop. Also, inform your doctor if you experience pain, stinging or abnormal sensation in the eye after using Niolox Eye Drop.

Niolox Eye Drop may cause temporary blurred vision immediately after using. Therefore, you are recommended to wait until your vision is clear before driving or operating machinery.

Niolox Eye Drop is not used to treat fungal infection in the eye. Niolox Eye Drop is only used to treat bacterial eye infections.
