Garamycin Ophthalmic: Side EffectsGaramycin ophthalmic (generic name Gentamycin ophthalmic) is an antibiotic that is used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the eyes such as conjunctivitis. It is also useful in the treatment of ear infections caused by bacteria. Gentamycin ophthalmic is also used to prevent infections in the eye after removal of foreign bodies, burns or damage. Garamycin comes in the form of eyedrops or ointment. How to use Garamycin ophthalmicGaramycin ophthalimic should be used exactly as prescribed by the doctor. If you are not clear about the instructions, ask your doctor or a nurse or pharmacist. Wash your hands before applying the ointment or eyedrops. In the case of eyedrops shake the liquid well before applying. Squeeze the container to apply a drop or two, and close your eye. Apply a gentle pressure on the inside corner of the eye that is near the nose for a minute. This will help prevent the drops from draining down your tear ducts. If you are using more than one drop at a time, wait for about five minutes before applying the second drop. In the case of ointment, apply a thin film of ointment on the lower eyelid by squeezing the container gently. It might be a good idea to hold the tube in your hand for a minute or two to let it warm first, so that the ointment comes out easily. After applying the ointment, close your eyes and roll your eyeball for about a minute or two. Do’s
