FAQs

What is the right way to use Bromf Eye Drop?

Always wash your hands before (and after) using Bromf Eye Drop. This prevents you from passing the infection from one eye to the other. Remove the cap just before using your medicine and replace it as soon as you have finished. Avoid touching the nozzle of the bottle with your fingers. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid with a clean finger. Hold the bottle over the eye and allow a single drop to fall into the space between your lower lid and your eye. Close your eye and gently press your finger over the inside corner of your eye (over the eyelid) for about a minute. This helps prevent the drop from draining out of the eye. Repeat in your other eye if your doctor has told you to do this.

How often can I use Bromf Eye Drop?

Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily beginning 1 day prior to surgery, continued on the day of surgery, and through the first 14 days post-surgery. However, follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage since it may vary from patient to patient.

When should I seek a doctor’s advice?

You should contact your doctor immediately if you develop abnormal sensations in the eye, eye irritation (including burning/stinging), eye pain, eye allergy, eye redness, headache, and iritis (inflammation of the colored part of your eye).

Can I use any other eye drop along with Bromf Eye Drop?

Always consult your doctor before using any other eye drops along with Bromf Eye Drop. It is advisable to give a gap of atleast 5 minutes between the two medications.

Can I use any other topical pain relieving medicine while using Bromf Eye Drop?

Use of any other topical pain relieving medicine with Bromf Eye Drop may slow or delay healing of your operated eye. Consult your doctor in case of any doubts.
