How to use Sulfin Eye Drop

How Sulfin Eye Drop works
Sulfin Eye Drop is a combination of four medicines: Sulphacetamide and Boric Acid which treat eye infections. Sulphacetamide is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a vitamin required for bacterial multiplication. Boric Acid and Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate are antiseptics which treat bacterial infection in the eye and relieve irritation. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which works by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation (redness and swelling).
Quick tips

- Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
- Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop.
- If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
- Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
- Burning sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer.
