FAQs
What Martindale products are on this brand page?
This page currently lists Martindale Pharma Antibiotic Eye Ointment 4g. Open the product page to review directions, suitability, and the patient information leaflet before purchase.
How do I know if I need an ointment or eye drops?
It depends on the cause of symptoms and the format you prefer. Ointments are thicker and can be useful for night-time application, while drops are commonly chosen for allergy/hayfever symptoms or dryness. If you’re unsure what’s causing the problem, ask a pharmacist or optometrist.
What’s the difference between an eye infection and allergy or dry eye?
Symptoms can overlap. Allergy often involves itchiness and watering, while dry eye can feel gritty or tired. Infections may include redness and discharge, but not always. If symptoms are severe, unusual, or not improving, get professional advice rather than guessing.
Who should speak to a pharmacist or GP before buying?
Speak to a pharmacist, optometrist or GP if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, buying for a child, have a long-term eye condition, use other eye medicines, wear contact lenses, or have a history of medicine allergies.
How do I use Martindale antibiotic eye ointment safely?
Use exactly as directed on the pack and patient information leaflet. Wash hands before and after use, avoid touching the tube tip to the eye or skin, and don’t share eye medicines with others.
Can I wear contact lenses while using eye treatments?
Contact lenses aren’t always suitable when eyes are irritated or while using certain eye medicines. Follow the product guidance and consider switching to glasses until symptoms settle. If in doubt, ask a pharmacist or optometrist.
When should I seek urgent medical advice for eye symptoms?
Get urgent advice for severe eye pain, sudden vision changes, significant light sensitivity, injury or chemical exposure, rapidly worsening symptoms, or if you feel very unwell. If symptoms persist or keep returning, speak to a pharmacist, optometrist or GP.
