How To Use
How To Use Catacrom
Catacrom Eye Drops are for use in the eye only.
Catacrom Eye Drops are suitable for use in adults, the elderly and children.
The drops are in single-dose units. Put one or two drops into each eye four times a day, or as directed by your doctor. Avoid touching the eye with the dropper.
Read the instructions on the carton carefully. Wash your hands before and after you use these eye drops.
1. Break off one unit dose container from the strip.
2. Open the unit dose container by bending/twisting the tab (Figure 1).
3. Tilt your head backwards.
4. Gently pull down the lower lid to form a pouch (Figure 2).
5. With the unit dose in the other hand, put one drop inside the pouch by gently squeezing the container. Try not to touch anything with the tip (Figure 3).
6. Close the eye for about 30 seconds and at the same time gently press a finger against the corner of the closed eye, nearest the nose. (Figure 4).
7. Some drops may roll down your face. This is normal. The eye holds less than one drop. Wipe away the excess with a clean tissue. If the drop of medication is not retained for any reason, another drop should be dropped into the eye pouch.
8. If you use more than one type of eye drop, wait five minutes before putting in the next one. This prevents the first drop from being washed away.
9. Repeat instructions 3-8 for the other eye.
There are no known effects of taking too much of this medicine. If you are concerned, please speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to use this medicine, use it as soon as you remember.
