Product details

GoldenEye Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment

What is GoldenEye Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment?

GoldenEye Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment can be used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis thanks to the active ingredient chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Chloramphenicol works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers.

If you experience these effects, stop using the drops immediately and tell your doctor. • Discolouration or clouding of the eye surface (cornea) or lens due to preservative. • The use of topical Chloramphenicol may occasionally result in the over growth of other non susceptible organisms including fungi.

These should subside quickly. • Irritation of the skin around the eyes, mercurialentis (brown discolouration of the lens) and atypical band keratopathy (appearance of calcium on the cornea).
