Conjunctivitis Treatment
All of our pharmacists are trained to identify bacterial conjunctivitis of the eye and minor eyelid infections such as styes.
Symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis include irritation, redness and often a sticky discharge.
The pharmacist can supply the antibiotic Chloramphenicol in a drop or ointment form to adults and children aged 2 and over.
If you are a contact lens wearer and have developed conjunctivitis whilst wearing your contact lenses you must see your Doctor or Optometrist. We cannot supply Chloramphenicol as you are at risk of a more serious eye condition which will require a different treatment.
No appointment required. Cost is $18.00 for Chlorsig Ointment or Chlorfast Drops after consultation if deemed appropriate.
