Frequently asked questions

What is Oftalmolosa Cusí Eritromicina used for?+
Oftalmolosa Cusí Eritromicina is an erythromycin‑based ophthalmic solution indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis and for prophylaxis after ocular surgery. It works by reducing bacterial growth on the ocular surface.
How does erythromycin work in the eye?+
Erythromycin binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis and halting bacterial replication. This bacteriostatic action limits the spread of susceptible organisms on the conjunctiva and cornea, allowing the body’s immune system to clear the infection.
What is the usual dose of Oftalmolosa Cusí Eritromicina?+
The dosing regimen for Oftalmolosa Cusí Eritromicina is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the type and severity of the infection, patient age and response to therapy. The prescriber will specify the number of drops and frequency.
Is erythromycin eye drops safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Erythromycin ophthalmic preparations are classified as pregnancy category B in many regions, indicating no proven risk in animal studies but limited human data. They should be used during pregnancy or lactation only when clearly needed and prescribed by a qualified health professional.

How does erythromycin compare with other ocular antibiotics?+

What are the most serious risks associated with erythromycin eye drops?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as swelling, rash or breathing difficulty, and rare events like corneal ulceration or sudden vision loss. Any signs of these reactions require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use erythromycin ophthalmic solution?+
