Question: Hi Doctors
I went to an eye doctor because I have a little eye sore and just little scale on my eyelash

She gave me ( fucithalmic Viscous eye drops/goats oculares viscousas)
She told me to use one drop in the night for one month

It is rarely required for 1 month.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. Fucithalamic viscous eye drops contain antibiotic and it is used to treat eye infections. Ideally speaking antibiotics are required to treat eye infections only. Hence they need to be used for 1-2 weeks as eye infections should respond within this time.
Though there is no harm in using it for 1 month but usually it is not required. Hence you can review after 2 weeks with your eye doctor and if the infection is still persisting continue the eye drops for another 2 weeks.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
