Medical Description

Optacid % Eye eye drop is used to treat certain bacterial infections of the eye. It contains sulfacetamide, an antibiotic that slows the growth of susceptible bacteria. By limiting bacterial growth, it may reduce infection-related redness, watering, irritation and discharge when the bacteria respond to it. Optacid eye drop is for use in the eye only and should be applied to the affected eye exactly as prescribed. It should not be used for eye problems that are not caused by susceptible bacteria.

Uses

  • Bacterial eye infection: Infection-causing bacteria can produce redness, discharge and watering; Optacid helps clear these symptoms when the bacteria are susceptible to sulfacetamide.

Side effects

Precautions and Warnings

For external eye use only. Wash your hands before and after applying Optacid eye drop. Shake well before use. Tilt your head back, apply the advised amount without touching the dropper tip to the eye, eyelashes or skin, then close the eye gently for a few minutes. Remove contact lenses before application. If you use another eye drop, leave the interval recommended by your eye doctor.

Storage and disposal

Store Optacid eye drop in a clean, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep it out of the reach of children. Do not use it after expiry, if the liquid changes colour or if particles appear. Discard it as advised after opening.

Dosage

Overdose

If a large amount is used in the eye by accident, rinse the eye with clean water. If discomfort continues, seek medical advice. If you think you have used too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you miss an application, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next application, skip the missed one. Do not apply extra product to make up for it.

How does this medicine work?

Sulfacetamide prevents bacteria from making substances needed for growth. As bacterial multiplication slows, the eye's infection can begin to settle.

Interactions

Some medicines can affect the way Optacid eye drop works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you use. In particular, do not use silver nitrate preparations together with it unless your doctor specifically advises this. If another eye drop is needed, leave the interval recommended by your eye doctor between applications.
