About Renicol Eye Drop

Renicol Eye Drop belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the eye. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye, such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea. 
 
Renicol Eye Drop contains Chloramphenicol, which works by preventing the synthesis of nutrients essential for bacterial survival. Thus, it kills bacteria and treats bacterial eye infections.
 
Sometimes, you may experience side effects such as mild eye irritation, stinging sensation, and temporary blurred vision. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
