Description

Bell Mfc 0.5% Eye Drops is an antibiotic. It is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, an eye infection caused by bacteria. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme required for bacterial multiplication. This prevents further growth and kills the infection-causing bacteria. Bell Mfc 0.5% Eye Drops may cause side effects such as mild itching and irritation, eye discomfort and dry eyes. These symptoms usually subside on their own, however, consult your doctor if these symptoms remain for a long time or if they become severe. Bell Mfc 0.5% Eye Drops should be instilled in your eyes as prescribed by your doctor. You will start to feel better in a few days. However, continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may result in decreased effectiveness of the medicine or increased risk of re-infection that would be difficult to treat in the future. This medicine is effective only for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and not viruses. Bell Mfc 0.5% Eye Drops is not recommended if you are allergic to it. This medicine may be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding upon your doctor's recommendation.
