Azithromycin eye drops, while generally well-tolerated, can cause some mild side effects. Common reactions include temporary burning, stinging, or itching upon application. These usually subside quickly.
Less frequent but potentially more serious side effects may include eye pain, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light. Report any persistent or worsening symptoms to your doctor immediately.
Before using azithromycin eye drops, inform your physician about any allergies you have, especially to azithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also discuss use with their doctor.
Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Properly dispose of any remaining medication after the prescribed treatment period.
While rare, allergic reactions are possible. Watch for signs like swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing, and seek medical attention if these occur.
