Overview

Chlorop 1% Eye Ointment is an ointment with Chloramphenicol 1% w/w declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 5g.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands thoroughly before use. Tilt the head back slightly, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and apply a thin strip of ointment (about 1 cm) into the pocket, avoiding contact between the tube tip and the eye or surrounding skin. Close the eye gently for a minute or two to let the ointment spread, and wipe away any excess with a clean tissue. Use the ointment at the frequency and for the duration advised on the packaging or by a pharmacist, and complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.

Dosage

The usual dose for adults and children is a small strip of ointment applied into the affected eye(s) two to four times a day, or as directed by a pharmacist or doctor, typically continued for 5 days or until 48 hours after the eye appears normal. Do not use for longer than the recommended duration without medical advice, as prolonged use of chloramphenicol has been associated with rare but serious blood disorders.

Shelf Life

Chlorop 1% Eye Ointment should be used within the shelf-life date printed on the packaging when unopened. Once opened, an opened tube of eye ointment is generally recommended to be discarded after 28 days, even if product remains, to reduce the risk of contamination.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach and sight of children, and do not use the ointment if the tube tip has been contaminated or if the product has changed in colour or consistency.

Side Effects

  • Temporary stinging, burning, or itching sensation immediately after application
  • Transient blurred vision due to the ointment base coating the eye surface
  • Mild eye redness or irritation
  • Watery eyes or mild discomfort
  • Allergic reactions such as eyelid swelling or rash (uncommon)
  • Rare reports of serious blood disorders (such as aplastic anaemia) with prolonged or repeated use

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity or allergy to chloramphenicol or any ingredient in the ointment
  • Personal or family history of blood disorders, including aplastic anaemia
  • Not recommended for use immediately before or after eye surgery without medical advice
  • Use with caution in premature infants and neonates due to limited safety data
  • Should not be used to self-treat eye pain, significant vision changes, or suspected foreign body injury without medical assessment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Avoid using other eye medications at the same time without spacing them apart, as this may dilute or wash out the ointment
  • Contact lenses should not be worn during treatment as the ointment may affect the lens and prolong contact with the eye
  • No significant food interactions are expected with topical use
  • Inform your pharmacist of any other eye drops, ointments, or systemic antibiotics you are using

Quick Tips

  • Apply the ointment just before bedtime if used once daily, as it may cause temporary blurred vision
  • Do not touch the tube tip to the eye, fingers, or any surface to avoid contamination
  • Wash hands before and after application
  • Do not share your eye ointment with another person, even a family member with similar symptoms
  • Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or do not improve after a few days of use
