Altachlore Frequently Asked Questions

Follow all directions on the product package. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, use this medication in the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes before replacing your contact lenses.

To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.

Tilt your head back, look up, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch. Release the eyelid and gently close your eyes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure for 1 to 2 minutes. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than 1 drop and for your other eye if so directed. Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.

Remove extra solution around the eye with a tissue, and wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.

If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before using the other medication. Use eye drops before ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.

Wait several minutes for your vision to clear before driving or operating machinery.

This product is recommended for use under a doctor's direction. If your condition gets worse, if it lasts for more than 3 days, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
