Noty Eye Drop

Noty Eye Drop is a prescription antifungal eye drop manufactured by Zodley Pharmaceuticals and used to treat fungal infections of the eye. Each bottle contains natamycin at the labeled strength in an ophthalmic solution form, designed to deliver medicine directly to the affected eye. Natamycin belongs to the polyene antifungal class and is used for fungal keratitis and other susceptible fungal eye infections. Because this is an eye-specific medicine, it should be used exactly as directed by an eye care professional.

How it works: Natamycin works by binding to fungal cell membranes and disrupting them, which helps stop the fungus from growing and surviving. As an eye drop, Noty Eye Drop delivers the antifungal medicine right onto the eye surface where the infection is present.

Noty Eye Drop is a single-eye-drop formulation with no other sibling strengths or forms listed for this brand, so the labeled strength is the one intended for ocular treatment. It is chosen when a doctor wants direct local antifungal action in the eye rather than an oral medicine, and its effect is meant to stay concentrated where the infection is located. As with all natamycin eye drops, the exact schedule and duration depend on the severity and location of the infection.

• Fungal keratitis
• Susceptible fungal eye infections
• Corneal fungal infection treatment
• Localized antifungal treatment for the eye

• Wash your hands before using Noty Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before use and ask your doctor when it is safe to wear them again.

Each bottle of Noty Eye Drop contains natamycin at the labeled ophthalmic strength, and the exact number of drops per dose is decided by the doctor based on the infection. It is commonly used several times a day at first, then adjusted as the eye improves, but there is no one fixed maximum daily dose for every patient because the prescriber individualizes treatment. Use only the schedule your doctor gives you, since eye infection treatment often requires close follow-up.

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

Common side effects of Natamycin may include:

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

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow or inject Noty Eye Drop.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contaminating the bottle and spreading infection.
• Temporary blurred vision may occur after each dose, so avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you wear contact lenses, since lenses may need to be stopped during treatment.
• Use caution if you have a history of allergy to natamycin or other eye-drop ingredients.
• Follow up promptly if symptoms worsen or do not improve, because fungal eye infections can be serious and need close monitoring.
• Do not stop treatment early unless your prescriber tells you to, even if the eye feels better.

• Other ophthalmic medicines may need to be spaced apart by several minutes.
• Contact lens solutions and lens wear can interfere with treatment and may worsen irritation.
• Other eye drops or ointments used at the same time may change how well the medicine reaches the eye.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription, OTC, and herbal products you use, even though eye-drop interactions are usually limited.

Store Noty Eye Drop at room temperature in the original carton, tightly closed, and keep it away from heat, freezing, and direct light.
