Product information

I-Care Chloramphenicol Eye Ointment 1% treats acute bacterial conjunctivitis. It targets common bacteria that cause red, sticky, irritated eyes. Apply a 1 cm ribbon to the lower lid 3 to 4 times daily for 5 days. Relief usually starts within 1 to 2 days. Suitable from 2 years.

How to use

Wash and dry your hands. Pull the lower eyelid down and, while looking up, place about a 1 cm ribbon of ointment into the space between the lid and the eye. Close the eye briefly, blinking spreads the film. Use 3 to 4 times daily for 5 days. If you also use chloramphenicol drops, use the drops by day and the ointment at night. Do not wear contact lenses during treatment, wait at least 24 hours after the last dose before wearing soft lenses. Seek medical advice if there is no improvement within 48 hours or symptoms worsen. Do not repeat courses without advice. Discard any remaining ointment after the 5-day course.

Main Ingredients

Chloramphenicol 1% w/w, 10 mg per gram. Ointment base contains liquid paraffin, wool fat and yellow soft paraffin. Tube size 4 g.

Side Effects & Cautions

Temporary stinging, burning, blurred vision or mild irritation can occur. Stop and get advice at once if you notice swelling, rash, breathing problems, easy bruising, fever or unusual tiredness. Do not use if you are allergic to chloramphenicol, if you or a close relative has had blood or bone-marrow problems, or in children under 2 years. Talk to a clinician before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, wear contact lenses, had recent eye injury or surgery, have glaucoma or dry eye, or take medicines that affect bone marrow. Do not drive until vision clears after application. Keep out of reach of children, store below 25 ¬¨‚àûC.

Pharmacist Curated

Every treatment and premium skincare product is hand-picked by our registered pharmacists to ensure efficacy and safety.

Clinically Proven

We stock only trusted, science-backed medicines and essentials that solve real problems and deliver results.

Confidential Care

Your privacy is our priority. Enjoy secure online transactions, expert advice, and fast, discreet delivery direct to your door.

01 Are all your products and medicines genuine?

Absolutely. Medicosmetic is a registered, pharmacist-led store. All of our health treatments, medicines, and premium beauty products are sourced directly from verified manufacturers and regulated UK wholesalers. You are getting the exact same genuine products you would find in a high-street pharmacy or premium clinic.

02 Why do I need to complete a questionnaire for some items?

While our premium skincare and General Sales List (GSL) items can be added straight to your cart, certain treatments are classed as Pharmacy-only medicines. To ensure these are safe and appropriate for you, our pharmacists require a quick, confidential online consultation before approving your order.

03 Is your packaging discreet?

Yes. We understand that your health and beauty concerns are private. All orders are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging with no indication of the contents or the pharmacy name on the outside of the box.

04 How much does shipping cost?

We offer two fully tracked and secure delivery options. Standard Shipping is £4.99, and Express Shipping is £7.99. Regardless of the delivery speed, all orders are carefully packed and dispatched in plain, discreet packaging to completely protect your privacy.

05 Can I return my order if I change my mind?

For safety and hygiene reasons, and in compliance with UK pharmacy regulations, we cannot accept returns on any dispensed medicines (including Pharmacy-only treatments), even if they are unopened. However, unopened and unused beauty and skincare products can be returned within 14 days.

06 What if I have questions about how to use my product?

We don't just sell products; we provide care. If you are unsure how to layer a new skincare serum or need advice on taking a medication, our expert pharmacy team is just a message away.
