Description
Brolene Sterile 0.1% Eye Drops – 10ml
Brolene Sterile 0.1% Eye Drops are an over-the-counter antiseptic eye drop used to treat and help prevent minor bacterial eye infections, including conjunctivitis (red eye) and blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids).
⸻
How It Works
The active ingredient, propamidine isetionate, is an antiseptic that works by disrupting the outer membrane of bacteria and some fungi, killing or stopping the growth of the microorganisms causing the infection. This helps to clear the infection and relieve associated symptoms such as redness, discharge, and irritation.
⸻
Directions for Use
For adults and children aged 2 years and over: instil 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) up to four times daily. Wash your hands before and after use, and avoid touching the tip of the dropper to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Do not use for more than 2 days without seeking medical advice if symptoms do not begin to improve. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions
No significant interactions with other medicines have been established for topical propamidine isetionate eye drops when used as directed. However, if you are already using other eye drops or eye preparations, leave at least 5 minutes between instilling each product. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.
⸻
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
There is limited data on the use of propamidine isetionate eye drops during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As only small amounts are likely to be absorbed systemically when used as directed, the risk is considered low, but caution is still advised. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
⸻
Alcohol
There is no known interaction between Brolene Sterile 0.1% Eye Drops and alcohol. This medicine is applied topically to the eye and is not taken orally, so alcohol consumption is not expected to affect how the drops work.
⸻
Driving and Operating Machinery
Brolene Eye Drops may cause temporary blurred vision immediately after use. You should wait until your vision has fully cleared before driving or operating machinery. This effect is usually short-lived.
⸻
