For proper usage of Myconat 5 % Eye Drops 5 ML, follow these steps:

• Clean your hands thoroughly before use.

• Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Tilt your head back and look upwards.

• Carefully squeeze the prescribed number of drops into this pocket without any contact between your eye and the dropper tip.

• Close your eye and gently apply pressure on the inner corner to avoid drainage of the medicine.

• If you are using these drops for both eyes, repeat these steps for your other eye.

• Always consult your doctor for personalised instructions.

Myconat 5 % Eye Drops 5 ML is instilled topically into the eyes.

Myconat 5 % Eye Drops 5 ML contains natamycin (5 %), which acts on your body as follows:

• Disrupts fungal cell membrane: Natamycin works by binding with ergosterol. Ergosterol is a crucial component of the cell membranes of fungi.

• Alters membrane permeability: The binding between natamycin and ergosterol changes the permeability of the fungal cell membrane. This causes leakage of cellular components.

• Causes fungal cell death: The leakage of cellular components eventually leads to death of the fungal cells. By eliminating these fungi, natamycin helps manage the fungal infection in your eyes.

• Ensure you keep Myconat 5 % Eye Drops 5 ML at room temperature.

• Avoid exposing the bottle to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

• Always replace the cap tightly after use to prevent contamination.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• If you are suffering from a fungal eye infection, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial. Make sure you wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading the infection.

• Avoid wearing contact lenses during the treatment period with Myconat 5 % Eye Drops 5 ML, as they may aggravate the infection.
