Please follow the steps below before using a new bottle for the first time

The multidose bottle is different to conventional bottles because the tip contains a one-way valve and air filter system to keep the contents sterile after opening. Please follow the steps below before using a new bottle for the first time:

Always wash your hands  & shake the bottle well  before each use.

Using thumb and forefinger, gently squeeze bottle to administer 1 drop into eye. Repeat in other eye (as required).

What about the single use ampoule?

The technique required to administer a drop into your eye using an ampoule is similar to using the multidose bottle, with just a couple of differences:

  • Before use, shake the ampoule, then twist off the top to open before administering as required.
  • And, because they’re single use, throw away the ampoule once you're finished, even if some emulsion is left.

Always take care not to touch the eye or eyelashes with the tip of the bottle or ampoule. 
The normal dosage of Cationorm® is 1 drop per eye up to 4 times daily.
