Q. Why is Azithral Eye Ointment given for 3 days?

Azithral Eye Ointment is an effective antibiotic that is used for the treatment of many bacterial infections. Compared to other antibiotics, Azithral Eye Ointment has a longer half-life which means that it stays in the body for a long time because of which it is given once a day and for a short span of time.
