Conjunctivitis Treatment
Conjunctivitis Treatment
All of our pharmacists are trained to identify bacterial conjunctivitis of the eye and minor eyelid infections such as styes.
Symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis include irritation, redness and often a sticky discharge.
Our service from one of our qualified pharmacists can supply the antibiotic Chloramphenicol in a drop or ointment form to adults and children aged 2 years and over.
If you are a contact lens wearer and have developed conjunctivitis whilst wearing your contact lenses you must see your Doctor or Optometrist. We cannot supply Chloramphenicol as you are at risk of a more serious eye condition which will require a different treatment.
No appointment required, the cost is $20 for Chloramphenicol Eye Drops or Ointment.
Both bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are highly contagious. It is important anyone who is infected follows strict hygiene measures (eg frequent hand washing and not sharing towels), and stays away from work/school while they are contagious.
