Pyricol Eye Drops Substitute

Pyricol Eye Drops consists of Chloramphenicol and Dexamethasone. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that prevents bacterial growth. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by blocking prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

It is advised to remove your contact lens while administering Pyricol Eye Drops. Also, remember to wash your hands before and after using Pyricol Eye Drops to avoid contamination.

If you use other eye ointments/drops along with Pyricol Eye Drops, it is advised to maintain a gap of at least 5-10 minutes between each administration. Also, use eye drops before applying any eye ointment.

Avoid contact of the tip of the tube with fingers, eyes, and eyelids. Topical eye products, when contaminated by patients with eye diseases, bacterial keratitis (an infection of the cornea) and ocular infections (eye infections) may occur, which result in vision loss.
