Fluconazole eye drop is indicated in the treatment of fungal corneal ulcers/keratitis.

Fluconazole eye drop is a topical ophthalmic solution containing Fluconazole (a bis-triazole derivative) having established therapeutic activity against superficial ocular fungal infections. Fluconazole is fungistatic in action. The drug inhibits cytochrome P-450 14-α demethylase in susceptible fungi, which leads to alteration of the cellular membrane, resulting in increased membrane permeability, leakage of essential elements, and impaired uptake of precursor molecules to DNA.

Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) 5 times daily.

Fluconazole can alter the pharmacokinetics of certain drugs undergoing hepatic metabolism.

The drug is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to azoles.

This drug is generally well tolerated. Eosinophilia has been reported in some patients.

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Fluconazole should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nursing mothers should not be given the drug as it is excreted in breast milk in concentrations similar to plasma

Use of fluconazole may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible strains of Candida other than Candida albicans.
