About Topicaine Eye Drop

Topicaine Eye Drop belongs to the aminoester group and is mostly used as a topical anaesthetic medication. The drug affects the nerves, in order to reduce pain and cause numbness for certain treatment procedures.

Topicaine Eye Drop should not be used if you are allergic to any of the ingredients contained in proparacaine drops. Some medicines may react with Topicaine Eye Drop, therefore proper medical help must be sought if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to certain ingredients.

However, in case of any severity, you must consult a doctor as soon as possible. The incorrect use or prolonged use may even lead to visual loss or cause corneal opacification permanently.
