CVS Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Ointment, 0.125 OZ

0.12 OZ, 0.1 lbs. Item # 857883

Sodium chloride hypertonicity ophthalmic ointment is used for the eyes only. It helps reduce the swelling of the front surface of your eye known as the cornea. This swelling can be caused by surgery, infection, trauma, or other eye conditions. This medicine should only be used after talking to a doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions or allergies. If your condition does not improve within 72 hours you should call your doctor. Common side effects of using this ointment include a mild burning sensation or irritation of the eyes. If you have signs of allergic reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat please get emergency help right away. If you happen to put too much in your eye, it is not expected to be a concern for your eye - simply wipe away the excess. CVS's brand of Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Ointment is comparable to the active ingredient in Muro 128. You can get the same benefit with our brand at CVS at a lower cost.
