About ALGIC PLUS DROP

ALGIC PLUS DROP is a prescription eye drop used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in the eye, while also reducing swelling, pain, and redness. It is most commonly prescribed to help the eye heal after surgical procedures, such as cataract surgery.

For best results, you must use this medicine consistently at the exact times prescribed by your eye specialist. Apply the eye drops exactly as directed, ensuring you wash your hands thoroughly before each use. To help your eyes heal, avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment and protect your eyes from bright light.

While using ALGIC PLUS DROP, you may experience mild, temporary side effects like stinging, burning, or slightly blurred vision immediately after applying the drops. These feelings usually go away quickly, but you should contact your doctor immediately if you notice severe eye pain, worsening redness, or vision changes.

Do not use this if you have a known allergy to similar antibiotics or pain-relieving eye drops. Before starting this medication, tell your doctor if you have dry eye syndrome, a history of bleeding problems, or if you have had multiple complicated eye surgeries.

Let your healthcare provider know if you are using other eye medications, as using multiple drops too close together can interfere with how they work. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing health conditions as an older adult, consult your doctor before starting this treatment.
 

Uses of ALGIC PLUS DROP

ALGIC PLUS DROP is used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in the eye, while also reducing swelling, pain, and redness. The detailed uses of ALGIC PLUS DROP are as follows:

  • Post-operative eye inflammation: Minimises redness, swelling, and discomfort in the eye following surgical procedures like cataract extraction.
  • Bacterial eye infections: Lowers the risk of developing a bacterial eye infection after surgery or injury by stopping bacteria from growing.
     

Key Benefits

ALGIC PLUS DROP helps promote recovery after eye surgery or in bacterial eye infections by preventing bacterial growth while reducing inflammation and discomfort. Its combination formulation simplifies treatment and supports faster healing.

  • Helps Prevent and Treat Eye Infections: By stopping the growth of harmful bacteria, ALGIC PLUS DROP helps clear existing infections and reduces the risk of infection following eye surgery or injury.
  • Relieves Eye Pain and Inflammation: ALGIC PLUS DROP helps reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort, allowing your eyes to heal more comfortably and helping you return to your daily activities sooner.
  • Supports Faster Recovery with Convenient Combination Therapy: By combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions in a single eye drop, ALGIC PLUS DROP simplifies your treatment routine while promoting effective healing and reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
     

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
  • Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form a pocket. Instill the number of drops advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
  • ALGIC PLUS DROP is for ophthalmic use only.
  • Avoid touching the container tip to your eye or lids to prevent contamination.

How ALGIC PLUS DROP Works

This eye drop uses two distinct active components that target different aspects of eye recovery. The antibiotic component, ofloxacin, targets the bacterial cells directly by stopping them from copying their genetic material, which prevents them from growing and causes them to die off. The pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory component, ketorolac, works by blocking certain natural enzymes in the eye that release inflammatory substances called prostaglandins. By reducing these substances, the medicine successfully calms down redness, swelling, and throbbing pain.

  • Do not rub or touch your eyes to prevent introducing new bacteria or causing physical injury to the healing tissue.
  • Avoid swimming, using hot tubs, or getting tap water directly in your eyes while using these drops.
     

Health Queries

I have been experiencing a thick discharge and mild itching in both eyes for the last two months. I have been using Algic Plus and Refresh Tears eye drops but have not gotten any relief; what alternative medicines or eye drops should I use?

Dr. S Aneela

Since your symptoms of thick discharge and itching have lasted for two months without improvement from allergy (Algic Plus) and lubricating (Refresh Tears) drops, you likely have a condition requiring different treatment. Thick discharge often indicates a bacterial infection or eyelid inflammation (blepharitis), rather than simple allergies. I strongly advise against trying alternative over-the-counter drops without a proper diagnosis. Please consult an ophthalmologist for an eye examination. You may need prescription antibiotic eye drops (like Moxifloxacin) or anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, practice good hand hygiene, avoid rubbing your eyes, and gently clean your eyelids with a warm, damp cloth.

FAQs

ALGIC PLUS DROP is used to treat bacterial eye infections.
The common side-effects of ALGIC PLUS DROP are eye pain, redness, burning or stinging sensation, watery eyes and blurred vision. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side-effects persist, consult your doctor immediately.
It is generally best to avoid wearing contact lenses while treating an eye infection or recovering from eye surgery. If your doctor allows lens wear, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Talk to your doctor.
ALGIC PLUS DROP is recommended for use in the eye only. It is not recommended for treating ear problems.
No, you should not stop using ALGIC PLUS DROP without consulting your doctor, even if you are feeling better. It's important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. This ensures that the infection is fully cleared and helps prevent antibiotic resistance. Stopping the medication early may lead to infection reoccurrence or lead to other negative effects.
A mild, temporary stinging or burning sensation is common and usually lasts for only a minute or two. If the stinging becomes severe, worsens over time, or is accompanied by swelling, stop using the drops. Talk to your doctor.
You should only use these eye drops during pregnancy or breastfeeding if your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the risks. Only a small amount of the medicine enters your bloodstream, but safety precautions are still necessary. Talk to your doctor.
Yes, but you must space them out. Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applying ALGIC PLUS DROP and any other ophthalmic drops or ointments to prevent washing out either medicine. Talk to your doctor.
Pressing the inner corner of your eye near your nose for one to two minutes prevents the drop from draining into your tear duct. This keeps the medicine in your eye where it is needed and reduces potential side effects in the rest of your body. Talk to your doctor.
Most sterile eye drops should be discarded 4 weeks after opening because of the risk of bacterial contamination. Check your product packaging for specific instructions. Talk to your doctor.
