Description
Erythromycin 0.5% 1 g O/O UD 50 is a topical ophthalmic ointment used to treat bacterial eye infections and prevent infection in certain medical situations. Each unit-dose tube contains 1 gram of ointment with an erythromycin concentration of 0.5%, ensuring precise and sterile administration. The product is supplied in a package of 50 unit-dose tubes, suitable for healthcare settings and individual patient use.
Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing the production of essential proteins and thereby stopping bacterial growth. This mechanism makes erythromycin effective against a wide range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, particularly in ocular infections such as conjunctivitis or blepharitis.
The ointment is applied directly to the affected eye(s) as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Its unit-dose packaging reduces the risk of contamination, enhancing its suitability for sterile ophthalmic use. Proper administration is essential to maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing potential side effects such as mild stinging, irritation, or hypersensitivity reactions.

| How to Use | HOW TO USE: To apply eye ointment, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the tip of the tube or let it touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface. Apply to the eyes only. Do not swallow or inject. Do not wear contact lenses while you are using this medication. Sterilize contact lenses according to the manufacturer's directions, and check with your doctor before you begin using them again. To apply eye ointments, tilt your head back, look up, and gently pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Place about a half-inch (1 centimeter) strip of ointment into the pouch as directed by your doctor. Gently close the eye and roll the eyeball in all directions to spread the medication. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed. Wipe the tip of the ointment tube with a clean tissue to remove extra medication before recapping it. Wait several minutes for your vision to clear before driving or operating machinery. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use it more often than directed. If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed. Stopping the medication too soon may allow the bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse. |
