Medical Description

Ocupol eye/ear drop is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and the outer ear, such as conjunctivitis and infection of the ear canal. It is a combination of polymyxin b and chloramphenicol. These two antibiotics work in different ways to stop the growth of the bacteria causing the infection and help clear it up.

Uses

  • Bacterial eye infections
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Outer ear infections
  • Ear canal infection

Contraindications

Do not use these drops if you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine. Avoid putting them in the ear if you have a torn or damaged eardrum, unless your doctor tells you to. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has ever had a problem with the blood or bone marrow, as chloramphenicol can rarely affect the cells the body makes in the bone marrow. It should not be used for eye or ear problems caused by viruses or fungi.

Side effects

  • Stinging
  • Burning
  • Irritation
  • Redness
  • Itching

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor before using these drops. Your doctor will prescribe them only if the benefit clearly outweighs any risk.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

If you are breastfeeding, check with your doctor before using this medicine, as there is limited information on its use during this time.

Driving

Driving

Your vision may be blurred for a short while after putting the drops in your eye. Wait until you can see clearly before driving or using machines.

Alcohol

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between alcohol and this medicine. If you have any concerns, ask your doctor.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands before use. For the eye, tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower lid, and put the drops inside without letting the dropper touch your eye. Close your eye for two to three minutes and wipe away any extra liquid. For the ear, tilt your head so the ear faces up and place the drops into the ear canal. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, and use this medicine only in the affected eye or ear.

Storage and disposal

Store below 25 degrees Celsius, away from light, and keep the bottle tightly closed. Keep it out of the reach of children. Throw away the bottle four weeks after you first open it, even if some liquid is left, and do not use it after the expiry date.

Quick Tips

  • Wash your hands before and after using the drops.
  • Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, ear, or any surface.
  • Avoid wearing contact lenses until the eye infection clears.
  • Do not share the bottle with anyone else, even family members.

Dosage

Overdose

Using more drops than advised is unlikely to cause serious harm, but it may lead to extra stinging or irritation. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

This medicine has two antibiotics that team up against the infection. The chloramphenicol stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow, which halts their spread. The polymyxin b damages the outer covering of certain bacteria so they cannot survive. Together they clear the germs causing the eye or ear infection and ease the redness, pain, and discharge.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Ocupol works, and it can affect how some other medicines work. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins, or herbal products you are taking. In particular, let your doctor know if you use any other eye or ear drops, or any medicine that affects your blood cells, so they can guide you on using them safely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. These drops only work against bacterial infections. They will not help an infection caused by a virus or a fungus. See your doctor for the right diagnosis.
Do not put the drops in your ear if you have a torn or damaged eardrum unless your doctor tells you to, as it may harm the inner ear. Ask your doctor about other options.
Only small amounts are taken into the body, but you should still check with your doctor first. It is used in pregnancy only when the benefit clearly outweighs any risk.
No. Sharing eye or ear drops can spread bacteria from one person to another and make infections worse. Each person should use their own bottle.
