Frequently asked questions

Strox Eye Drop should not be used for more than 7 days, unless your doctor tells you to. Due to prolonged use, the bacterial infection may become resistant to Strox Eye Drop which means it will no longer work properly. Please talk to your doctor if you do not see any improvement in your symptoms. He/she may change the dose or probably prescribe a different medicine.
This eye drop may be used along with other eye drops if prescribed by your doctor. Maintain a 10-15 minutes interval between both medications.
Strox Eye Drop is an antibiotic and is used to treat eye infections (such as conjunctivitis).
For most eye infections, you might notice an improvement within 2 days. However, it is advisable to use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop using the medicine without consulting your doctor.
Before the start of the treatment, inform your doctor if you have any problems with your eyesight, or severe eye pain, had a recent eye injury, recently had conjunctivitis, have dry eyes, or have glaucoma (due to increased eye pressure).
Always wash your hands before (and after) using Strox 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.
If you usually wear contact lenses, do not wear them while you're using Strox Eye Drop. You can re-insert the lens 15 minutes after using Strox Eye Drop. Contact your doctor if there is any eye irritation that persists.
Stinging, burning sensation, itching, and irritation are some of the side effects of this medicine. However, it subsides after some time. In case, it continues for a long period of time or becomes worse, consults your doctor.
If you happen to miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. In order to avoid missing a dose, use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication.
Do not worry if a few more drops of Strox Eye Drop accidentally falls into your eye. However, try to be careful and inform your doctor if you notice any side effects.
You do not need to refrigerate Strox Eye Drop after opening the bottle. However, store it in a cool and dry place, below 30℃. Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
After using Strox Eye Drop you should close your eyes for at least 2-3 minutes so that the medicine does not run off and gets absorbed in the eye.
