Ilium Chloroint

Ilium Chloroint Eye Ointment (Chloramphenicol/Hydrocortisone Acetate) is an ophthalmic medication prescribed to treat eye infections caused by bacteria. It contains an antibiotic that disrupts cell wall maintenance to destroy sensitive cells while preventing reproduction to stop the spread of infection allowing the immune system to destroy it naturally. The ointment also contains a corticosteroid that suppresses immune responses such as swelling, redness, or irritation to comfort the eye during treatment. This action makes it effective for treating conjunctivitis or other similar conditions in your pet. It may be prescribed along with other medications or to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

Follow the veterinarian`s instructions for using Ilium Chloroint Eye Ointment (Chloramphenicol/Hydrocortisone Acetate) to ensure the safest and most effective treatment. It is normally applied one to three times each day for a cycle of medication lasting one or two weeks. The best regimen for your pet will be determined by the severity of its symptoms, current health condition, and response to similar treatments. Do not attempt to self-medicate or alter any instructions unless directed to do so as misuse may lead to unexpected health problems.

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before administering the eye drops to remove any contaminants. Gently pull down the animal`s eyelid and dispense a small amount of ointment. The dog or cat will blink to spread it evenly over the eye. Wash your hands after application to keep it from coming into contact with any other areas not being treated. Do not allow the tip of the applicator to touch any foreign surfaces including the surface of your pet`s eye as this may also lead to contamination. Never stop using the medication prior to being instructed to do so, even if all symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may not be destroyed and can relapse stronger or more resistant to medication. It is recommended to administer the doses at the same times each day to get the most efficient use by keeping a consistent level of medicine on the eye at all times.

Consult your veterinarian regularly while using the ointment to ensure the correct effects. After observing the dog`s progress and response to treatment, you may be instructed to alter its dosage or application frequency until the best results are found. Ask your pharmacist or veterinarian any questions you have about the medicine to make sure it is being used correctly.

When applied correctly, the use of Ilium Chloroint Eye Ointment (Chloramphenicol/Hydrocortisone Acetate) will not cause side effects in most cases. If you do witness any unusual symptoms occurring in your dog or cat, contact the veterinarian immediately to make sure the correct response is taken. This may include reducing the application frequency or making other adjustments to prevent more complications from occurring. In more serious cases, it may also be necessary to seek emergency medical attention.

Side effects that may occur during treatment include:

• Irritation or burning in the eyes after application
• Swelling of the area surrounding the eye
• Dry or flaking skin surrounding the eyes
• Watery eyes or crusting or discharge from the eye

Bring your pet in for a consultation before using Ilium Chloroint Eye Ointment (Chloramphenicol/Hydrocortisone Acetate) to make sure it does not have any conditions that may cause complications with treatment. These can require reduced dosages or frequency of administration to prevent potential health problems from appearing.
