Overview

Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Gentamicin sulfate equivalent to gentamicin 0.3% w/w. It is supplied in a pack size of 2.5g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment should only be used according to the dosage, frequency, and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Wash your hands before use, tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and apply a thin ribbon of ointment into the pocket without letting the tip of the tube touch the eye or eyelid. Close your eyes gently for a minute or two afterwards, as vision may be temporarily blurred.

Dosage

The dosage of Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment is determined individually by your prescribing doctor based on the severity of the infection, and commonly involves applying a small amount into the affected eye 2 to 3 times a day, or as directed. Always follow the exact dose, frequency, and treatment duration given on your prescription rather than any general guidance, and complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.

Shelf Life

Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment is generally stable for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Once opened, ophthalmic ointments are typically only safe to use for up to 4 weeks, after which any remaining product should be discarded regardless of the printed expiry date; always check the expiry date on the tube before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment at room temperature, below 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and heat, unless your pharmacist advises refrigeration. Keep the tube tightly capped after each use, avoid letting the tip touch any surface, and keep out of reach of children.

Relevant Information

Gentamicin-Pos 0.3% Eye Ointment is typically prescribed for a short, defined course to treat a confirmed or suspected bacterial eye infection, and is not effective against viral or allergic conjunctivitis. Because vision may be temporarily blurred after application, patients are often advised to use it before bedtime or to avoid driving and operating machinery immediately after use. A doctor should be consulted if eye pain, vision changes, or symptoms persist beyond the prescribed treatment course.
