Description:
Chlorsig eye ointment is used to treat an eye infection called bacterial conjunctivitis; a bacterial infection involving the mucous membrane of the surface of the eye. It contains chloramphenicol, a synthetic antibiotic, as the active ingredient.
The most common symptom is the presence of a sticky yellow-white discharge with mucus and pus (or glued eyes, especially in the morning on waking). Other symptoms include a gritty sensation in the eye, redness, irritation and watering of the eyes. The infection usually starts in one eye and then spreads to the other.
