Sulphacol Eye Drop is an ophthalmic antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections. Bacterial infections are caused when harmful bacteria enter any area of the eye, including the cornea and conjunctiva.
Sulphacol Eye Drop is a combination of Chloramphenicol and sulphacetamide. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that prevents bacterial protein synthesis, hence stopping bacterial growth. Sulphacetamide is a sulfonamide antibiotic that reduces bacterial enzyme activity, hence reducing the growth of microbes.
