About this medicine
Obid Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as pink eye (conjunctivitis) and corneal ulcers (keratitis). It works by stopping the bacteria from multiplying. This helps to clear up the infection and relieve symptoms like redness, itching, and eye discharge. Use Obid Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Usually, you will need to put one drop into the affected eye several times a day, depending on your specific condition. Make sure to wash your hands before and after using the drops. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to your eye or any surface, as this can contaminate the medicine. Keep using the drops for the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better, to ensure the infection is completely cleared. Some people may experience mild side effects like stinging or burning in the eye after applying the drops. These effects usually go away on their own after a few minutes. If you notice more serious side effects like severe eye pain, vision changes, or signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash or swelling), stop using the drops and contact your doctor right away. While using Obid Eye Drop, avoid wearing contact lenses, especially if your eye is still red or irritated. You should also be careful not to drive or operate machinery right after applying the drops, as they can temporarily blur your vision. If you have a history of eye conditions or are allergic to any medications, let your doctor know before starting this treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor.
