How Chlorovue Eye Ointment works

Chlorovue Eye Ointment is an antibiotic which stops the growth of bacteria that cause skin infections. It does so by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. This does not directly kill the bacteria, but prevents them from increasing in numbers, and eventually clears up the skin infection.

Quick tips

  • You have been prescribed Chlorovue Eye Ointment for the treatment of bacterial skin infections.
  • It should be applied to the affected areas, two or three times daily, or as advised by your doctor.
  • Don't use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if your skin problem hasn't improved after seven days of treatment.
  • Treatment should be continued until at least two days after the condition has resolved.
  • Don't apply it to broken skin and take care to avoid getting it in your eyes, nose or mouth. 
  • Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. 
  • It may cause temporary burning, itching or a redness at application site. This is usually mild. Consult your doctor if you experience a more severe reaction.
