I was prescribed by an eye doctor brismox d and alcarex-kt eye drops for my allergic conjunctivitis for 15 days. Dosage as follows- brismox d was prescribed for 6 times a day and alcarex-kt was for 4 times a day. Now, after 10 days I am feeling fine and consulted again the same doctor. He told to continue brushing d for next 10 days bd and next 10 days od and alcarex-kt same as before. What should I do? How many days should I take the brismox-d eye drop as I heard steroid eye drops long term usage creates unnecessary side effects. Please advice me and guide me. I have to undergo a fistula surgery in next few days. Thank you.

Hello. Kindly follow your doctor’s advise as he has rightly prescribed you the medications. Steroids are to be tapered only and never stopped abruptly. Taking steroids for this much of shorter time would not cause major side effects. So no need to worry. Hope this helps. You can reach me out for any further queries. Thank you.
