Chloranicol PD Eye Drops

Chloranicol PD Eye Drops is an eye-drop medicine which belongs to the ophthalmic (eye-care) category. It contains a combination of three active ingredients: Chloramphenicol (4 mg), Dexamethasone (1 mg), and Polymyxin B (5000 IU). It is generally used to treat bacterial eye infections: the chloramphenicol and polymyxin B act as antibiotics to kill or stop the growth of bacteria, while dexamethasone is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, itching and swelling. It may be used by people who have symptoms of an infected eye (such as pain, discharge, redness or swelling) due to bacteria, and who also need relief of the associated inflammation. Because it contains a steroid, its use should be under medical advice, especially in individuals with other eye conditions, contact-lens users or those who are immunocompromised.

How Chloranicol PD Eye Drops Works

Chloranicol PD Eye Drops work effectively through a powerful combination of three key ingredients: Chloramphenicol, Dexamethasone, and Polymyxin B. Chloramphenicol and Polymyxin B are antibiotics that target and eliminate a wide range of bacteria responsible for eye infections. Chloramphenicol works by stopping the bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for their growth, while Polymyxin B damages the bacterial cell membrane, causing the bacteria to die. Together, they help clear infections quickly and prevent them from spreading. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling caused by infection or irritation. This blend not only treats the infection but also relieves discomfort, restores eye comfort, and promotes faster healing of the affected area.

Side Effects of Chloranicol PD Eye Drops

• Mild burning or stinging sensation in the eyes after application
• Temporary blurred vision or watery eyes
• Eye redness or irritation if used for a long time
• Dryness or itching around the eyes
• In rare cases, swelling of the eyelids or eye pain
• Prolonged use may increase the risk of secondary eye infections or glaucoma due to the steroid content

Safety Advice

• Use this medicine only under medical supervision and for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

• If you experience persistent irritation, pain, or vision changes, discontinue use and consult your eye specialist immediately.
