Introduction To Trachol Eye Drop
Trachol Eye Drop is a combination medicine that is used to treat allergic eye infections. It prevents the growth of the microorganisms that cause infection in the eyes. It also relieves the symptoms of inflammation such as redness, itchiness, and irritation.
Trachol Eye Drop is to be used as per the label instructions or as suggested by your doctor. This medicine must be applied only to the affected eye and use it regularly to get the most benefit. The course of the medicine should be completed even if you feel better. You must wash your hands before administering the medicine. Do not use it more than the recommended dose.
Generally, this is a safe medicine. However, it may cause some mild and temporary side effects like eye discomfort, eye irritation, burning, and stinging sensation in the eye. Consult your doctor if any side effects persist or worry you. If you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.), you must seek immediate medical help.
Before using it, tell your doctor if you have an underlying disease or are taking medicines for any health condition. The medicines that are used externally usually do not get affected by other medicines, however, you should let your doctor know if you are taking any medicines to ensure safety. While on the treatment, you should not touch or rub your eyes as this may aggravate the infection. Also, you can avoid or reduce screen time and use goggles when you out in the sun or in crowded or public areas.
