Overview Cethol Eye Ointment 3%

Dry eye syndrome relief is provided by Cethol 3% ophthalmic ointment, a lubricating agent acting as artificial tears. Insufficient tear production causing dryness, burning, and irritation is addressed by this ointment's lubricating action. Application is as-needed, with dosage determined by your physician. Allow 5-10 minutes between administering Cethol and other eye medications to prevent dilution. Discard any bottle with a compromised seal. Maintain hygiene by washing hands and avoiding dropper tip contact to prevent infection. Prolonged use is safe and may be necessary for effective management. Minor, transient side effects such as eye irritation (burning, discomfort), pain, itching, and blurred vision may occur. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be reported to your doctor. Avoid activities requiring sharp vision until visual clarity returns. Seek medical advice if your condition worsens or side effects are bothersome. While generally unaffected by other medications, inform your doctor of any history of glaucoma. Avoid use with soft contact lenses and report any eye infections that develop during treatment.
