How T H Eye Ointment works

T H Eye Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Tetracycline and Hydrocortisone which treat eye infection. Tetracycline is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Hydrocortisone is a steroid. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers responsible for eye redness, swelling, and itching.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear contact lenses during T H Eye Ointment treatment?

No, you should remove your contact lenses before using T H Eye Ointment and should wait at least 15 minutes before wearing them again. You can also ask your doctor if you should avoid wearing the contact lenses entirely during the treatment with T H Eye Ointment. The preservatives present in T H Eye Ointment may damage the lenses.

How long do I have to use T H Eye Ointment until I see improvement?

The exact time T H Eye Ointment takes to show results is not known. However, the redness and discomfort often improve within a few days of T H Eye Ointment use. The complete resolution may take a few days to weeks. If you see no improvement after a week or symptoms worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

Who should not use T H Eye Ointment?

You should avoid using T H Eye Ointment drops if you are allergic to tetracycline, hydrocortisone, or any other ingredients in the T H Eye Ointment, have viral or fungal infections in the eye, or tuberculosis of the eye. Talk to your doctor if you have any of these conditions.

Can I use T H Eye Ointment for viral or fungal eye infections?

No, T H Eye Ointment only works for bacterial infections. Using it for viral (like herpes) or fungal infections can worsen the condition. Proper diagnosis by an eye doctor is essential.

Can using T H Eye Ointment long term cause eye problems?

Yes, using steroidal eye medicines like hydrocortisone (present in T H Eye Ointment) for a long time can cause cataracts (cloudy vision) and increased eye pressure (risk of glaucoma). Only use T H Eye Ointment for as long as your doctor advises.

How should I store T H Eye Ointment?

Store T H Eye Ointment at room temperature. Avoid freezing or excessive heat. Do not touch the tip of the tube/dropper and keep it tightly closed when not in use. Discard it after 4 weeks of opening the dropper.

Are there any special precautions while using T H Eye Ointment?

Yes, during treatment, it’s important to avoid direct sunlight or tanning because tetracycline, the active ingredient in T H Eye Ointment, can increase your sensitivity to UV rays. Also, do not share your medication with anyone, and make sure to complete the full course even if your eye feels better, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
