Package Leaflet: Information for the doctor

Oftasteril 50mg/ml Eye Drops Solution

This information is intended for healthcare professionals only

Dosage and administration

Using the double pouch, transfer the product to the operating room with an aseptic technique and use it as described.

Saturate a sterile gauze with the solution from the bottle and start preparing the eyelashes and the margins of the eyelids.

Repeat the procedure for the eyelids, cheeks, and forehead (including the margins of the eyebrows) with circular movements until the entire surgical field is clean. Repeat the process three times.

Place the blepharostat and irrigate the cornea, conjunctiva, and palpebral fornices with the product. Wait two minutes and then remove Oftasteril from the ocular surface by irrigating the cornea, conjunctiva, and palpebral fornices with a sterile saline solution.

Discard the bottle after use, even if it has only been partially used.

Overdose

In case of ocular overdose, rinse abundantly with a sterile saline solution.

Accidental ingestion or inhalation of some disinfectants can have serious consequences, sometimes fatal.

The known acute symptoms and signs due to accidental ingestion are: abdominal pain, anuria, collapse, pulmonary edema, and metabolic abnormalities.

In case of recent accidental ingestion of a considerable amount of Oftasteril, gastric lavage should be performed; otherwise, symptomatic treatments should be carried out.

Interaction with other medicines and other forms of interaction

Concomitant or subsequent use with other antiseptics should be avoided due to the possibility of interference (antagonism, inactivation).

Special caution is required regarding incompatibilities with iodine. In particular, do not use a mercury-based derivative at the same time: combined iodine/mercury preservatives should be avoided due to the risk of forming caustic compounds. In particular, be careful with mercury-based preservatives used in many ophthalmic preparations.

When administered in larger volumes than those derived from single ocular instillation, povidone iodine may interfere with thyroid function tests.

Consult the Summary of Product Characteristics for further information.
