Ilotycin Eye Ointment (active ingredient: erythromycin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Ilotycin Eye Ointment is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by susceptible bacteria, alleviating symptoms such as redness, itching, and discharge.
  2. Blepharitis: It is indicated for the treatment of blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelid margins, which can be caused by bacterial infections.

Ilotycin Eye Ointment belongs to a class of drugs known as macrolide antibiotics, which work by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis to eliminate infections.

To apply Erythromycin Eye Ointment to the affected eye, begin by washing your hands. Make sure to avoid touching the tip of the tube or letting it touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface to prevent contamination. Tilt your head back and look up, gently pulling down the lower eyelid to create a pouch. As directed by your doctor, apply about a half-inch (1 centimeter) strip of ointment to the pouch. Close your eye and roll the eyeball in all directions to spread the medication, taking care not to rub the eye or blink. Repeat these steps for your other eye if necessary. Before recapping the tube, wipe the tip with a clean tissue to remove any extra medication.

Do not wear contact lenses while using the medication and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for sterilizing your lenses. Always check with your doctor before using your contacts again.

The dosage of Erythromycin Eye Ointment is determined by your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency of use. If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 5 minutes before applying Erythromycin Eye Ointment to avoid interfering with their efficacy. When using multiple medications, apply eye drops before the ointment.

Use Erythromycin Eye Ointment regularly and at the same time(s) each day to achieve maximum benefit. Be sure to continue using it for the full time prescribed, even if you begin to feel better. Stopping the medication too soon may allow bacteria to persist, potentially leading to a recurrence of the infection. After applying the ointment, wait several minutes for your vision to clear before driving or using machinery.
