Product Details
Cetapred Eye Drops 5ml is a combination medication containing Prednisolone Acetate, Sulphacetamide Sodium, and Phenylephrine HCl. This eye drop is designed to combat infections and reduce inflammation in the eyes. Prednisolone Acetate acts as a corticosteroid to reduce swelling, while Sulphacetamide Sodium fights bacterial infections. Phenylephrine HCl works as a decongestant, helping to relieve redness by narrowing the blood vessels in the eyes.
Purposes
Cetapred Eye Drops is primarily used to treat bacterial infections and inflammation of the eyes. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other inflammatory eye disorders where both an anti-infective agent and a corticosteroid are required. This powerful combination ensures relief from discomfort, redness, and swelling while preventing further infection.
Warnings
- Cetapred Eye Drops should not be used for prolonged periods unless directed by your healthcare provider, as long-term use of corticosteroids may lead to increased intraocular pressure or cataracts.
- Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, as this may contaminate the solution.
- Discontinue use and consult your doctor if you experience any allergic reactions, such as swelling, severe eye irritation, or difficulty breathing.
Adverse Effects
Common side effects of Eye Drops may include temporary stinging or burning in the eyes after application. In some cases, patients may experience blurred vision or eye discomfort. Serious but rare side effects include increased eye pressure, cataract formation, or worsening of bacterial infections.
Cautions
Use Eye Drops with caution if you have a history of glaucoma, as corticosteroids can raise intraocular pressure. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and duration of use, and ensure that the bottle is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
