Sulfacetamide Sodium 10% w/v, 10mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1193Eye Care
Product Introduction
Sulfacetamide Sodium 10% w/v eye drops are a sulfonamide antibiotic for susceptible superficial bacterial eye infections. They treat a bacterial cause rather than viral or allergic conjunctivitis.
How to use
Instil into the lower-eyelid pocket at evenly spaced treatment intervals. Close the eyelids gently and avoid contact lenses during active infection. Complete the antibacterial course rather than stopping at the first symptom improvement.
How it works
Sulfacetamide competes with para-aminobenzoic acid in bacterial folate synthesis. Bacteria then cannot make the folate needed for essential cellular processes.
Side effects
Stinging, burning, redness or irritation may occur. Sulfonamides can rarely cause severe hypersensitivity, including serious skin or blood reactions.
Important information
A previous sulfonamide allergy is particularly important. This medicine does not provide reliable coverage for every bacterium, including Pseudomonas. A painful corneal problem needs prompt examination.
Uses
- Superficial bacterial eye infections caused by sulfacetamide-susceptible organisms.
Benefits
Limits bacterial growth at the ocular surface and helps clear infection-related discharge and irritation.
Why should I avoid repeatedly extending a sulfacetamide course?
Prolonged antibacterial use can allow resistant organisms or fungi to overgrow. Persistent or returning symptoms need a fresh eye assessment, rather than repeatedly restarting the same drops.
Does a sulfonamide allergy matter with eye drops?
Yes. Serious hypersensitivity can occur even with topical use.
Can it treat every bacterial red eye?
No. Coverage is incomplete, and resistant organisms or corneal infection may need a different antibiotic.
Will it improve pollen-related itching?
It does not treat the allergic mechanism responsible for pollen-related itching.
What if a new rash or mouth sores develop?
Stop using it and obtain urgent medical attention because these can be signs of a serious sulfonamide reaction.
