Aristen Eye Ointment 1% contains Clotrimazole, an antifungal medicine used for the treatment of susceptible fungal infections affecting the eye and surrounding ocular tissues, as prescribed by an ophthalmologist. Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal agents and works by stopping the growth of fungi responsible for the infection.

Fungal eye infections, although less common than bacterial infections, can be serious and require prompt treatment to prevent complications. Aristen Eye Ointment helps eliminate the infection, relieve symptoms such as redness, irritation, and discomfort, and promote healing. It should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Composition

Each gram of eye ointment contains:

• Clotrimazole 1%

Indications

Aristen Eye Ointment 1% is indicated for:

• Fungal infections of the eye, as diagnosed by an ophthalmologist
• Fungal infections of the eyelids and surrounding ocular tissues
• Superficial ocular fungal infections caused by susceptible fungi

How Aristen Eye Ointment Works

Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes damaged, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leading to the death of the fungal cells.

Its actions include:

• Inhibiting fungal growth
• Destroying susceptible fungi
• Reducing inflammation associated with fungal infection
• Promoting healing of infected ocular tissues

Dosage and Administration

• Use only as prescribed by a registered ophthalmologist.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application.
• Apply a small amount of ointment inside the lower eyelid of the affected eye as directed.
• Avoid touching the tip of the tube to the eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
• Continue treatment for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve earlier.

Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.
