For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is used for temporary eye problems, such as mild&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;of the eyelids and the&nbsp;conjunctiva&nbsp;of the eye (the membrane that covers the inside of the eyelid and the white part of the eye) as well as for&nbsp;legal&nbsp;and other external eye conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to talk to a doctor if your symptoms do not improve within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Need To Know Before Using Noviform<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Not Use Noviform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you are allergic to <em><strong>Noviform 5 bibrocatol<\/strong><\/em> or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Medicines And Noviform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No case has been detected where it has been or has been affected by other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy And Breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no known risks of use during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is unknown whether <em><strong>noviform 5 bibrocatol<\/strong><\/em> passes into breast milk.\u00a0If you are breastfeeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving And Using Machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ointment can for a certain time settle as a film over the eye and cause temporary blurred vision.&nbsp;If this happens, do not drive or use machines until you can see them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or&nbsp;side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noviform Contains Cetostearyl Alcohol And Wool Grease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains cetostearyl <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/alcohol-and-drugs-risk-use-harmful-use-and-addiction\/\">alcohol<\/a> and wool grease which may cause local skin irritation (eg <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/contact-dermatitis\/\">contact dermatitis<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Use Noviform 5%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is an ointment string (\u00bd-1 cm) that is placed on the inside of the eyelids 1-2 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Noviform eye ointment<\/em> can settle over the eye for a limited time.&nbsp;It is therefore advisable to put an ointment string in connection with bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to talk to a doctor if your symptoms do not improve within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use For Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before treating children with Noviform 5%, consult your doctor or nurse for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions For Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Separate the eyelids (see picture) and place an ointment string (\u00bd -1 cm) on the inside of one eyelid (most suitable on the lower one) using the tip of the tube.&nbsp;To distribute the ointment evenly over the eyeball, keep the eyelids closed and massage lightly in the direction of the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that <strong>Noviform<\/strong> <strong>5%<\/strong> may discolor clothing and bed linen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
