Product introduction

Amipar Eye/Ear Drops is an antibiotic instilled in the eye/ear to treat bacterial infections of the eye/ear. Additionally, it also helps to prevent an infection after an eye/ear injury or surgery.

Amipar Eye/Ear Drops fights the infection by stopping the growth of bacteria. This helps to resolve your symptoms and cure the underlying infection. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely for administering this medicine in the eye/ear. Wait for at least 5 minutes before applying any other medication to the same area. It should be used regularly at evenly spaced time intervals as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.

It is a broad-spectrum type of antibiotic effective in killing many types of bacteria. However, it will not work for other types of eye/ear infections (e.g., viral) and therefore, should only be used if prescribed by your doctor. Unnecessary use of any antibiotic can lead to a decrease in its effectiveness in the future.

Commonly seen side effects with this medicine include temporary eye/ear irritation after application. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist for a longer duration or if your condition worsens.
