About this active substance
Bibrocathol is an eye medicine, usually supplied as an ophthalmic ointment. It is used for chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins, especially when the problem is not caused by bacteria. It may be recommended for blepharitis with redness, burning, watering, crusts around the eyelashes, gritty feeling or persistent eye discomfort.
Bibrocathol has disinfectant and astringent effects and helps reduce secretions. It acts locally on the surface of the eyelid and eye, forming a protective layer and calming irritation. It is not a standard antibiotic and should not be used as the only treatment for a serious eye infection, particularly if there is marked pain, pus, sensitivity to light or reduced vision.
The ointment is placed in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Wash your hands before use and do not let the tip of the tube touch the eye or skin. If you also use other eye drops or ointments, leave about one hour between products and use ointments last. Contact lenses should not be worn during treatment.
Side effects are uncommon but may include itching, burning, redness, swelling, watering, skin rash or allergic reactions. Vision may be blurred for a short time after application, so do not drive or use machines until you can see clearly. Seek medical advice if symptoms do not improve after 7 days, get worse, or if eye pain or changes in vision occur.
