Product introduction

Apply Tetramed Eye Ointment exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Generally, a small amount of the medicine is placed inside the lower eyelid, typically one to three times daily, depending on the severity of the infection. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application, and avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube to any surface to prevent contamination. Follow the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms start to improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.


Some people may experience mild side effects such as stinging, burning, or temporary blurred vision after applying Tetramed Eye Ointment. These effects usually go away within a few minutes. To reduce blurred vision, rest for a few minutes after using the ointment until your vision clears. If any side effects persist or worsen, or if you notice symptoms like eye pain, severe irritation, or allergic reactions, contact your doctor promptly.


While using Tetramed Eye Ointment, avoid wearing contact lenses, as this can aggravate the infection or prevent the ointment from working effectively. Use caution when driving or operating machinery after application, as the ointment may temporarily blur your vision. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had an allergic reaction to tetracycline or any other antibiotics, inform your doctor before using this medicine.

How to use Tetramed Eye Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the tube close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the tube and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid.

How Tetramed Eye Ointment works

Tetramed Eye Ointment works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. When these proteins cannot be produced, the bacteria are unable to survive and spread, allowing the infection to clear and the affected area to heal. This targeted action helps control bacterial infections and reduces redness, swelling, and discharge at the site of application.

Quick tips

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before applying Tetramed Eye Ointment. Close your eye for a minute or two to allow the medicine to spread evenly across the eye's surface.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. Depending on the severity of the infection, it may be applied 2-4 times a day.
  • To prevent contamination, do not let the tip touch any surfaces, including your eye or hands.
  • If you use other eye medications, wait 5-10 minutes between applications to ensure proper absorption.
  • Avoid using contact lenses while on treatment with Tetramed Eye Ointment, as it can affect lens clarity and increase the risk of further irritation.
