Questions to ask a pharmacist about eye drops

A pharmacist can go through a label with you in a couple of minutes. These are good questions to bring, together with the label itself: the carton, or the Drug Facts page.

• Is there anything in the active or inactive ingredients I should avoid?
• I have an egg or bird allergy. Does Quell’s caution apply to me?
• Can I use it with my contact lenses?
• Can I use it alongside the other drops I use, and how should I space them?
• Is it suitable for my child?
• What should I do if the tip touches something?
• How long should I keep using an opened bottle?

Why these

Each is a question Quell’s label either flags or leaves unanswered. Where a label is silent, the answer has to come from someone who knows your situation.

For an eye doctor instead

Anything about what is causing your symptoms, and anything involving pain, changes in vision, or symptoms that haven’t settled. The label’s own guidance is: Stop use and ask a doctor if you feel eye pain or changes in your vision, if irritation or redness continues, or if the condition worsens or persists for 72 hours.
