What is Vitabact 0.05% used for?

Eye infections are common but often underestimated. Whether due to exposure to environmental irritants, poor hygiene or simply increased vulnerability, our eyes are constantly exposed to infectious agents.

Precautions for use

As with any medication, certain precautions should be taken when using Vitabact. First of all, if you have a known allergy to any of the components of this eye drop, it is imperative that you do not use it.
An allergy could worsen your condition and lead to serious side effects. Furthermore, for reasons of hygiene, make sure that the tip of the single-dose eye drops never comes into direct contact with the eye or any other surface.
It's also advisable not to wear contact lenses for the duration of the treatment. Indeed, the infection could worsen or the lens could become a vector for the spread of bacteria.
Finally, it's crucial to respect a 15-minute interval between instillations if you're using another eye drop at the same time. You should also inform your doctor of any other treatment you may be taking, whether prescription or over-the-counter.
Pregnant or breast-feeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using Vitabact.
After applying the eye drops, you may experience a brief visual disturbance. It is therefore advisable to wait until your vision becomes clear again before driving a vehicle or operating machinery. Safety is paramount!

GLOSSARY ^(summary)

antiseptic
A substance that locally destroys bacteria, reducing their numbers and preventing their proliferation. Some antiseptics are also active on microscopic fungi and viruses.

cul-de-sac conjunctival
A space formed when the lower eyelid is pulled down, which detaches from the eye and forms a cavity. The drops of eye drops and the ophthalmic ointments must be placed in it. The drug is distributed naturally throughout the eye. It will be eliminated, like the tears, by the lacrymal canal, which evacuates the tears towards the nose.

contact lenses
A flexible or rigid optical device placed on the cornea for correcting a defect in vision.
The lenses currently used are all made of plastic. There are two types:

Rigid lenses, more or less permeable to oxygen. Their small diameter (they do not cover the entire cornea) facilitates the oxygenation of the cornea: the oxygen contained in the tears can diffuse under and around the lens.
Soft lenses, more or less hydrophilic. They are easier to support at the beginning, but their large diameter and limited oxygen permeability do not facilitate oxygenation of the cornea. They can pose long-term tolerance problems.

allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.

treatment
Treatment that complements the action of a specific treatment, but generally does not achieve healing on its own.
