Flubichlor Eye Drop 5 ml

Flubichlor Eye Drop 5 ml combines an antibiotic with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine to manage certain bacterial eye infections and inflammation:

• Bacterial eye infections: Chloramphenicol helps treat susceptible bacterial infections affecting the eye and surrounding superficial tissues.
• Post-operative eye inflammation: Flurbiprofen helps reduce inflammation, pain, and discomfort following certain eye surgeries, when prescribed by an ophthalmologist.
• Post-operative infection management: Chloramphenicol may be prescribed when there is a need to treat or reduce the risk of susceptible bacterial infection during recovery, depending on the specific clinical situation.

The combination provides complementary antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions that can help manage infection and inflammation when both require treatment:

• Helps control bacterial infection: Chloramphenicol acts against susceptible bacteria responsible for certain eye infections.
• Reduces eye inflammation: Flurbiprofen helps reduce the inflammatory response, which may relieve redness, swelling, and discomfort.
• Helps relieve post-operative discomfort: By reducing inflammation after appropriate eye procedures, flurbiprofen can help make the recovery period more comfortable.
• Combines two treatment actions: Using an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine together may simplify treatment when both bacterial infection and inflammation need to be managed.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Tilt your head back and gently pull your lower eyelid downward and outward. Gently squeeze the dropper to instil the drops into your eyes.
• Avoid touching the tip of the dropper with your bare hands to prevent contamination.

• Protect your eyes from bright light: Wear sunglasses when outdoors, as your eyes may be extra sensitive to light during your recovery.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes: Keep your hands away from your eyes to prevent introducing new bacteria or causing physical irritation to healing tissues.
• Take a break from screens: Limit television, phone, and computer use to reduce eye strain and dryness while your eyes heal.
• Avoid eye makeup and contact lenses: Do not wear contact lenses or apply cosmetics near your eyes until your doctor confirms your infection has cleared or your eye has fully healed.
• Keep water out of your eyes: Be cautious when showering or washing your face to avoid getting tap water or soap in the affected eye.

• Check the solution before use: Always inspect the liquid in the bottle. Do not use the eye drops if the solution is cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
• Do not wear contact lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying Flubichlor Eye Drop 5 ml, and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservatives in the drops can discolour soft lenses.
• Avoid driving immediately after use: These drops can cause temporary blurred vision. Do not drive or operate machinery until your vision is completely clear.
• Keep the bottle tip clean: Never let the dropper tip touch any surface to prevent introducing bacteria into the bottle, which could lead to severe eye infections.
• Complete the full course: Even if your eye feels better, finish the entire course prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely cleared and does not return.
