Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL

Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL is a prescription azithromycin eye drop used to treat certain bacterial eye infections. Each 3 mL eye drop bottle contains azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, in a sterile ophthalmic solution for use in the eye only. It works by stopping susceptible bacteria from making proteins they need to grow and spread. Doctors may prescribe Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL for bacterial conjunctivitis and other eye infections caused by bacteria that respond to azithromycin.

How it works: Azithromycin blocks bacteria from making proteins they need to survive and multiply. As an eye drop, Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL places the antibiotic directly on the eye surface to help clear the infection where it starts.

Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL is a small-volume ophthalmic presentation meant for short-course, targeted treatment of an infected eye. Because it is an eye drop rather than an oral medicine, it delivers azithromycin directly to the eye surface, which may help reduce infection with less body-wide exposure. A clinician may choose this 3 mL bottle when a localized antibiotic treatment is appropriate and easy-to-use eye dosing is preferred.

• Bacterial conjunctivitis
• Bacterial eye infection treatment
• Red, sticky, infected eyes caused by bacteria
• Doctor-directed local antibiotic eye care

• Wash your hands before using Zaha Eye Drop 3 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, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently after each drop and press lightly on the inner corner of the eye if your doctor advises.
• Use it exactly on the schedule your doctor gives; do not change how often you use Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL on your own.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the eye drop and ask your doctor when you can put them back in.

Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL provides azithromycin as a sterile eye drop solution in a 3 mL bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription. It is usually used a limited number of times per day, often with a short treatment course, and the maximum daily use should follow your doctor’s instructions for this specific product. Do not use more or less often than prescribed, because the correct schedule is based on the infection being treated and your response to therapy.

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

Common side effects of Azithromycin may include:

• Temporary eye irritation or stinging after instillation
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Eye burning or discomfort
• Itchy eyes
• Redness of the eye
• A bitter or unusual taste in the mouth after the drop reaches the tear duct

• Use Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL only in the eye; do not swallow it or inject it.
• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to azithromycin, erythromycin, or other macrolide antibiotics.
• Remove contact lenses before use; infected eyes and eye drops may make lens wear unsafe until your doctor says otherwise.
• If your vision is blurred after dosing, do not drive or do tasks that need clear vision until it clears.
• Do not use this eye drop for viral or fungal eye problems unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Finish the full course as prescribed even if symptoms improve early.
• Tell your doctor about heart rhythm problems, liver disease, or other medicines you take before using Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL.

• Other ophthalmic medicines used in the same eye, which may need to be spaced apart by your doctor
• Contact lens disinfecting products if lenses are being used again too soon
• Other macrolide antibiotics, if prescribed at the same time
• Medicines that can affect heart rhythm, if you have a history of QT prolongation

Store Zaha Eye Drop 3 mL at room temperature as directed on the package, keep it tightly closed, and protect it from contamination.
