Chlorocort Eye Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Chloramphenicol and Hydrocortisone. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Hydrocortisone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause redness, swelling and itching after an allergy or infection.
No, do not stop using Chlorocort and complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
Usually, Chlorocort starts working soon after using it. However, it may take some days to kill all the harmful bacteria and make you feel better.
