We offer Sodium Cromoglicate (any generic) 2% w/v Eye Drops and Chloramphenicol (any generic) 0.5% Eye Drops and 1% w/w Eye Ointment for managing conjunctivitis.

How do Sodium Cromoglicate Eye Drops work for conjunctivitis?

Sodium Cromoglicate is a mast cell stabilizer that helps prevent the release of substances causing allergic reactions. It is effective in treating allergic conjunctivitis, providing relief from itching and redness.

What is the role of Chloramphenicol Eye Drops and Eye Ointment in conjunctivitis treatment?

Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial growth. It is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, helping to eliminate the infection and reduce symptoms such as redness and discharge.

Can Sodium Cromoglicate be used for both allergic and bacterial conjunctivitis?

Sodium Cromoglicate is specifically designed for allergic conjunctivitis and may not be effective against bacterial infections. It’s essential to determine the cause of conjunctivitis before starting treatment.

Follow the specific instructions provided with the medication. Eye Drops are usually applied directly into the eye, while Eye Ointment is applied inside the lower eyelid.
