Nataforce Eye Drop

Nataforce Eye Drop is a natamycin ophthalmic suspension used to treat fungal infections of the eye. Each bottle contains natamycin as labelled, and natamycin belongs to the antifungal drug class. Nataforce Eye Drop is prescribed for fungal eye infections such as fungal keratitis, where treatment needs to reach the surface of the eye directly.

How it works: Natamycin works by attaching to fungal cells and damaging the cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and spreading. As an eye drop, Nataforce Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the infected eye surface where it is needed most.

This is a single-eye-drop strength with no sibling strengths or other forms listed for this brand, so Nataforce Eye Drop is used exactly as the prescriber directs for the severity of the infection. Eye drops like Nataforce Eye Drop can act locally on the eye surface rather than throughout the body, which is why a doctor may choose this form for a confirmed or strongly suspected fungal eye infection.

• Fungal keratitis
• Fungal eye infection treatment
• Corneal fungal infection
• Eye surface fungal inflammation

• Wash your hands before using Nataforce Eye Drop.
• Shake the bottle well if your label instructs you to do so.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye without touching the tip to the eye.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Use Nataforce Eye Drop exactly on the schedule prescribed, even if your eye starts to feel better.

Nataforce Eye Drop provides natamycin as labelled per bottle, and the exact dose depends on the severity and location of the fungal infection. It may be used several times a day at first, then reduced as the eye improves, but the doctor decides the frequency and duration. There is no self-directed maximum daily dose for this product; follow the prescribed schedule only.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
