Chlorocol H Eye Ointment
What is Chlorocol H Eye Ointment
Chlorocol H Eye Ointment is a topical ophthalmic medicine that treats bacterial eye infections, such as Conjunctivitis. Jawa Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd manufactures it with Chloramphenicol (10mg) and Hydrocortisone (5mg) as active ingredients.
Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth, while Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces eye inflammation and swelling. This combination helps relieve symptoms like redness, itching, pain, and irritation caused by bacterial infections.
Chlorocol should only be applied to the affected eye as prescribed by a doctor. Even if symptoms improve, the entire course of treatment must be completed to prevent reinfection.
Chlorocol provides fast relief and promotes the healing of bacterial eye infections. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper use.
