Symptoms of Bacterial Conjunctivitis
Bacterial conjunctivitis is a common eye infection that may cause:
Red or irritated eyes
Sticky or yellow discharge
Gritty or uncomfortable feeling
Eyelids sticking together, especially in the morning
If you are experiencing these symptoms, visit Vautier pharmacy for an assessment.
Antibiotic Eye Treatment Available
After a pharmacist consultation, we may supply Chloramphenicol antibiotic treatment when clinically appropriate, including:
Chlorsig Eye Ointment
Chlorfast Eye Drops
Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over.
Important Information for Contact Lens Wearers
If you wear contact lenses and develop conjunctivitis, you must see a Doctor or Optometrist. For safety reasons, we cannot supply Chloramphenicol in this situation, as contact lens–related infections may require different treatment.
Pharmacist consultation required
