FAQs
What is Itral Eye Drop? What is it used for?
Itral Eye Drop is a medicine that belongs to a class of medicines known as antifungal medicines. It is used in the treatment of fungal eye infections. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane, thus curing the infections.
Is Itral Eye Drop safe to use for a long time?
Itral Eye Drop should not be used for more than 7 days, unless your doctor tells you to. Due to prolonged use, the fungal infection may become resistant to Itral Eye Drop which means it will no longer work properly. If you have been having the infection for more than 6 months, please talk to your doctor. You may need to change the dose or probably take a different or more efficient medicine.
How long does Itral Eye Drop take to work?
Itral Eye Drop starts working as early as within 3 days. The itching and discharge (if any) are the first ones to get better. Pain and soreness may take a little longer to resolve, as long as 7 days. But, if it takes longer or if your symptoms do not subside or get worse, please consult your doctor immediately.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Itral Eye Drop?
No, you should not stop using Itral Eye Drop suddenly without talking to your doctor. Doing so may worsen your symptoms and your infection may return. Remember, your symptoms may improve and you may feel better before the infection is completely cleared. Stopping the medication too early could allow the fungus to continue to grow and hence, prevent complete healing.

Use of Itral Eye Drop should be avoided in patients who are allergic to Itral Eye Drop or any of its components. However, if you are not aware of any allergy, or if you are using Itral Eye Drop for the first time, consult your doctor.
