General Information





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.
