👨‍⚕️ Doctor's Practical Tips

Evidence-based practical advice from experienced clinicians

1

Always wash your hands before and after applying this eye ointment to prevent contamination and spread of infection.

2

Apply the ointment into the lower eyelid pocket without touching the tube tip to your eye or eyelashes.

3

If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applications and apply the ointment last.

4

Do not use this medicine for longer than prescribed, as prolonged steroid use can increase eye pressure and cause cataracts.

5

Complete the full course of treatment even if your symptoms improve within a few days, to prevent recurrence of infection.

6

Avoid wearing contact lenses during the treatment period unless your doctor says it is safe.

7

If your symptoms do not improve within 3-5 days or worsen, contact your eye doctor promptly.

🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionChloramphenicol and hydrocortisone are absorbed through the cornea and conjunctiva into the eye tissues. Systemic absorption after topical eye application is generally minimal but can occur, especially if the eye surface is damaged or if the ointment is used frequently.

DistributionAfter absorption, chloramphenicol distributes widely into body tissues and fluids, including the aqueous humor of the eye. Hydrocortisone also distributes into eye tissues and enters cells to bind its receptor. Both agents can cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk.

Protein BindingChloramphenicol is approximately 50-60% bound to plasma proteins. Hydrocortisone is about 90% bound to plasma proteins, primarily transcortin and albumin.

MetabolismChloramphenicol is metabolized in the liver primarily by glucuronidation to chloramphenicol glucuronide. Hydrocortisone is metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites, mainly tetrahydrocortisone and tetrahydrocortisol.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of chloramphenicol is approximately 1.5 to 3.5 hours in adults with normal liver function. The half-life of hydrocortisone is about 1.5 to 2 hours.

ExcretionChloramphenicol and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine, with a small amount in bile and feces. Hydrocortisone metabolites are excreted in the urine.

BioavailabilitySystemic bioavailability after topical eye application is low but not precisely established. The local bioavailability in eye tissues is sufficient for therapeutic effect.

Onset of ActionThe antibiotic effect begins within hours of application, but noticeable improvement in symptoms may take 1 to 2 days. The anti-inflammatory effect of hydrocortisone starts within hours but maximal relief may take a day or two.

Peak Plasma TimeNot established from the available information for topical eye application.

Duration of ActionThe effect lasts for several hours after application. The ointment base provides prolonged contact with the eye surface, so the duration may be longer than eye drops.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with different mechanisms. Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic that binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, blocking the peptidyl transferase activity and preventing the formation of peptide bonds. This stops bacterial protein synthesis, which inhibits bacterial growth and allows the body's immune system to clear the infection. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells, leading to suppression of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This reduces swelling, redness, and itching in the eye. Together, they treat both the bacterial infection and the associated inflammatory response.

Mechanism Steps

1

Chloramphenicol enters bacterial cell: Chloramphenicol penetrates the bacterial cell wall and reaches the ribosome.

2

Binding to 50S ribosomal subunit: Chloramphenicol binds reversibly to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, specifically at the peptidyl transferase center.

3

Inhibition of protein synthesis: This binding prevents the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, halting the elongation of the growing polypeptide chain and stopping bacterial protein synthesis.

4

Hydrocortisone binds glucocorticoid receptor: Hydrocortisone diffuses into human cells and binds to the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor.

5

Suppression of inflammatory genes: The hydrocortisone-receptor complex moves into the nucleus and inhibits the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators.

6

Reduction of inflammation: This leads to decreased swelling, redness, and itching in the eye, providing symptomatic relief.

💡 How to Take chlodor h eye ointment

Strength: Each gram of ointment contains chloramphenicol 10 mg and hydrocortisone 5 mg.

1Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

2Shake the tube gently before use if recommended.

3Tilt your head back and look up.

4Pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

5Squeeze a small amount (about 1 cm) of ointment into the pocket.

7Wipe away any excess ointment with a clean tissue.

8Replace the cap tightly and wash your hands again.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The usual adult dose is a small amount (about 1 cm or 1/4 inch) of ointment applied to the affected eye(s) one to four times daily, depending on the severity of the infection and your doctor's instructions. For some conditions, it may be applied at bedtime. The exact dose and duration must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on the specific indication, severity of infection, and your response to treatment. Do not exceed the prescribed frequency or duration. Always complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
Pediatric Dosage	Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist for appropriate dosing in children. Use in children under 2 years is not recommended unless specifically directed by a doctor.
Elderly Dosage	Elderly patients may be more susceptible to the side effects of corticosteroids, such as increased intraocular pressure and cataracts. Use with caution and under medical supervision. Dose is generally the same as for adults, but monitoring may be more frequent.
Renal Impairment	No specific dose adjustment is established for renal impairment with topical eye use. However, since chloramphenicol is excreted by the kidneys, use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment. Consult your doctor.
Hepatic Impairment	No specific dose adjustment is established for hepatic impairment with topical eye use. Chloramphenicol is metabolized in the liver, so use with caution in patients with severe liver disease. Consult your doctor.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum daily dose is not established from the available information. Use only as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, no more than 1 cm of ointment per eye per application, up to four times daily.
