Consider erythromycin ophthalmic ointment or bacitracin-polymyxin B ophthalmic ointment as alternatives for bacterial eye infections. These offer similar antibacterial properties.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience vision changes, severe pain, or increased eye redness after using Terramycin ophthalmic. Also consult a doctor if symptoms don’t improve within a few days, or if you develop a new symptom, like increased pus or swelling.
For allergic reactions (swelling, itching, rash), discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately. They can prescribe an antihistamine or other medication to manage the reaction.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and application. Incorrect use can hinder treatment and potentially cause complications.
Children and pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the use of Terramycin ophthalmic or any alternative with their doctor before beginning treatment. Specific considerations apply.
