Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL

Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL is an antifungal eye medicine that contains natamycin in a 5 mL bottle. Natamycin belongs to the polyene antifungal class and is used to treat fungal infections of the eye, especially fungal keratitis and fungal blepharitis. It works directly on the affected eye to help clear the infection and reduce irritation caused by fungi. Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL should be used only when a clinician has confirmed or strongly suspected a fungal eye infection.

How it works: Natamycin sticks to a fungal cell membrane and disrupts it, which stops the fungus from growing and can kill it. As an eye drop, Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL delivers the medicine directly onto the eye surface where the infection is located.

This Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL presentation is a standard single-bottle eye-drop format, so it is suited to people who need local treatment to the eye rather than a systemic antifungal. Because it is a topical eye drop, it acts where it is placed and does not replace oral or injected antifungal treatment when deeper or severe infection is present. A doctor may choose Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL when the infection is on the surface of the eye and regular, repeated dosing is needed.

• Fungal keratitis
• Fungal blepharitis
• Superficial fungal infection of the eye surface
• Treatment of susceptible ocular fungal infections

• Wash your hands before using Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Close your eye gently after each dose; do not rub the eye.
• Use it exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms start improving.

Each Nataprove Eye Drop bottle contains 5 mL of natamycin eye-drop solution. The exact dose and how often you should use it depend on the severity and type of fungal eye infection, and your doctor will decide the schedule for you. Because this is a local eye treatment, there is no single maximum daily dose that fits every patient; follow the prescribed frequency carefully and do not increase the amount on your own.

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

Common side effects of Natamycin may include:

• Temporary eye irritation or stinging
• Blurred vision right after instillation
• Eye redness
• Watery eyes
• Mild burning sensation
• Foreign-body or gritty feeling in the eye

• Use only for eye use; do not swallow Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL.
• Remove contact lenses before using it unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Blurred vision can happen briefly after a dose, so be careful driving or using machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you have eye injury, corneal ulcer, or severe eye pain before starting treatment.
• Do not stop early if the eye looks better, because fungal infections often need full treatment.
• Use a separate bottle only for one person to prevent contamination and spread of infection.
• Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have been told you are sensitive to natamycin.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments may need to be spaced apart from Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL.
• Contact lens use can interfere with treatment and may worsen irritation.
• Eye products that contain preservatives or irritating ingredients may increase discomfort when used together.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription and nonprescription eye medicines you use.

Store Nataprove Eye Drop 5 mL at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from light and contamination; do not freeze unless the label specifically says to.
