You are right, we do not use ciplox during pregnancy and in fact upto the age of 8 years in children. However, you are in your third trimester so I do not expect any developmental malformations in the baby. Also systemic absorption will be minimal. BUT, please do not use it anymore. There are alternative medicines. Kindly consult in person.

Not really so don’t worry. But ciplox eye drops are not really useful for itching, so avoid using any eye drops before consulting a dr in future.

Don't worry... The systemic absorption of eyedrops is very less and thus it won't affect your foetus... But dont use any eyedrops in pregnancy without consulting an eye specialist.
