Flucol Eye Drop

Your doctor may prescribe Flucol Eye Drop to treat the following fungal eye infections:

• Fungal keratitis: Flucol Eye Drop helps by treating fungal infections of the cornea (the clear front surface of your eye), reducing inflammation and preventing permanent damage.
• Fungal corneal ulcers: Flucol Eye Drop targets the fungal pathogens causing open sores on the cornea, helping the eye heal and lowering the risk of vision loss.
• Fungal coverage: Flucol Eye Drop is generally more active against yeast-type fungi such as Candida and may not be suitable for all fungal corneal infections caused by filamentous fungi such as Fusarium or Aspergillus. 

Using Flucol Eye Drop as prescribed helps treat fungal eye infections and protect your vision. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Relieves symptoms of fungal eye infections: By eliminating the fungal infection, Flucol Eye Drop helps reduce eye pain, burning, irritation, redness, swelling, and sensitivity to light, improving overall comfort.
• Promotes corneal healing: Flucol Eye Drop helps clear the infection, allowing the cornea to heal and reducing the risk of persistent ulcers and inflammation.
• Helps protect vision: By stopping the growth of fungi and preventing the infection from spreading, Flucol Eye Drop helps reduce the risk of permanent corneal damage and vision loss.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. Close your eyes for 2-3 minutes.
• Do not touch the tip of the container to prevent contamination.

• Maintain good hand hygiene: Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Flucol Eye Drop to help prevent the spread of infection.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes: Do not rub or touch the affected eye, as this may worsen irritation or introduce additional microorganisms.
• Replace contaminated eye products: Discard any eye makeup, contact lenses, contact lens cases, or lens solutions used before the infection began, as they may be contaminated.
• Protect your eyes outdoors: Wear sunglasses when outside to reduce discomfort from bright light and protect your eyes from dust and wind while they heal.

• Inspect before use: Always check the eye drop solution before each use. Do not use it if you notice cloudiness, discolouration, or visible particles.
• Avoid contaminating the dropper: Never let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface.
• Space other eye medicines: If you are using other eye drops or eye ointments, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying the next eye medication.
• Do not share the medicine: Never share Flucol Eye Drop with anyone else, even if they have similar eye symptoms, as this may spread infection.
• Take care after application: Your vision may be temporarily blurred after using the eye drops. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision becomes clear.
• Use only under specialist supervision: Fungal eye infections can threaten vision and often require close follow-up with an ophthalmologist. Never start or stop these eye drops without specialist advice.
