Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm

Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm is used to treat bacterial eye infections. The detailed uses of Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm are as follows:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye): Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm helps clear the bacterial infection affecting the membrane that lines your eyelids, reducing redness and discharge.
• Corneal ulcers: Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm treats bacterial infections on the clear front surface of your eye, helping to heal the ulcer and prevent serious vision complications.

Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm offers targeted relief directly at the site of the infection, helping you recover faster and feel more comfortable.

Benefits may include:

• It reduces the painful burning, itching, and grit-like feeling in the eye caused by bacterial buildup.
• By stopping bacteria from multiplying, it allows the delicate tissues of your eye to heal without interference.
• Treating corneal ulcers and severe eye infections promptly prevents permanent scarring and preserves your vision.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form a pocket. Squeeze a tiny amount of the cream/ointment into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm is for ophthalmic use only.
• Do not touch the tip of the tube or other dispensing tip to any surface since this may contaminate ointment.
• If ointment becomes discolored, it should be discarded.

• Pause contact lens use: Avoid wearing contact lenses during the entire course of your treatment. The ointment can coat your lenses, and contact lenses can trap bacteria, potentially making the infection worse.
• Avoid eye cosmetics: Do not use eye makeup, such as mascara, eyeliner, or eye shadow, until your eye infection has completely cleared.
• Maintain good hand hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before and after touching your face or eyes, to help reduce the risk of spreading the infection to your other eye or to other people.
• Use clean personal items: Use a fresh, clean towel and washcloth every day, and do not share them with anyone else in your household.
• Protect sensitive eyes: Wear sunglasses when outdoors to protect your eyes from bright sunlight and wind, as your eyes may be more sensitive during recovery.

• Inspect before use: Always inspect the tip of the ointment tube before use to ensure it is clean and undamaged.
• Keep the tube sterile: Never let the tip of the tube touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface to avoid contaminating the sterile medicine.
• Apply medicines in the correct order: If you are using other eye drops, apply the drops first, wait at least 10 minutes, and apply the Oflo Eye Ointment 5 gm ointment last.
• Wait for clear vision: Expect your vision to be blurry for a few minutes after applying the ointment; do not drive or operate machinery until your sight is completely clear.
• Complete the prescribed treatment: Complete the full course of treatment exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms go away after a few days, to help prevent the infection from returning.
