Sofracort

Sofracort Eye/Ear Drops (Framycetin Sulphate) is antibacterial medication used to treat eye infections. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce swelling and irritation associated with these conditions. The medication prevents the production of proteins essential for the survival of the bacteria to eliminate them. Keep in mind that the eye drops are only meant for treating infections caused by bacteria and will not be useful against those caused by a fungus or virus. It may also be prescribed by your physician to treat other unlisted conditions.

Follow your physician`s instructions for using Sofracort Eye/Ear Drops (Framycetin Sulphate) to ensure the safest and most effective results. The dosage and frequency of administration will be determined by your physician after observing your health condition, symptoms, and response to previous treatments. It is usually advised to apply the medication one to three times each day for a set cycle lasting one to two weeks. Never interrupt this cycle, even if the symptoms have disappeared, as the infection may not be completely destroyed and can relapse stronger or more resistant to medication. Do not self-medicate or attempt to alter any of these aspects of the regimen to prevent unexpected health problems.

Before using the solution, remove the metal seal and stopper from the bottle. Place the provided cap onto the bottle and remove its cover to make it ready for use. Pull down the lower lid of the eye to be treated, hold the bottle over the eye, and depress the top to put one drop into the pouch formed. Slowly close the lid to spread the medication and keep the eye closed for several minutes to allow it to be absorbed. If another application is required, wait fifteen minutes before using it again. Only use the solution in the eye, do not allow it to come into contact with your ears, nose, or other mucous membranes.

Attend regular consultations with your physician while undergoing treatment to monitor your condition and symptoms. It may be necessary to adjust your dosage or frequency of administration until the best results are found. It is also important to prevent the solution from becoming contaminated by preventing the applicator to come into contact with any foreign surfaces, including the eye. Observe the solution before each application to make sure it is not discolored nor has any suspended particles. If it does, dispose of the medication immediately. Follow these instructions and ask your pharmacist or physician about any questions you have to ensure the correct application.
