Fluorescein Sodium is indicated in the diagnosis of corneal abrasions, corneal ulcers and herpetic corneal infections.

• The dosage of Fluorescein Sodium varies depending on the indication for use and the route of administration. For ophthalmic use, the usual adult dose is one or two drops of a 10% solution instilled into the affected eye(s) as needed.
• For intravenous use, the usual adult dose is 2-10 mg, administered as a slow intravenous injection over a period of 2-5 minutes. It is important to note that the dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual's needs and medical condition.

Common side effects may include:

• Eye irritation and discomfort
• Blurred vision
• Allergic reactions (such as hives, rash, itching, or difficulty breathing)
• Staining of the skin and clothing

Allergic Reaction

• Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to fluorescein or any other dyes, or if you have any other allergies.
• Tell your healthcare provider if you have any history of kidney or liver disease, as well as any other medical conditions.
• Avoid contact with the skin and clothing, as the dye may stain.
• If you experience any eye irritation or discomfort after using the drops, you should stop using them and contact your healthcare provider.
• As fluorescein is a diagnostic tool, it shouldn't be used as a treatment, follow-up with your healthcare provider to discuss the results and any necessary follow-up action.
