About Atrozen Eye Ointment 5 gm
Atrozen Eye Ointment 5 gm is used to treat uveitis or iritis (inflammation of the eye) and myopia (nearsightedness). Uveitis is swelling inside the eye that causes pain and blurry vision. Myopia is a condition where you can see close objects clearly, but distant ones appear blurry.
Atrozen Eye Ointment 5 gm contains ‘atropine’, which relaxes the muscles in the eye, thereby making the pupil of the eye appear larger. This makes it easier for an eye examination.
In some cases, you may experience specific common side effects such as dry mouth, palpitations, nausea, constipation, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult a doctor before using Atrozen Eye Ointment 5 gm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medications you are taking to avoid any side effects or potential interactions.
