1. What is UrsAB and what is it used for
UrsAB is an eye drop used for the treatment, in adults and children, of infections of the
external part of the eye such as bacterial conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and keratitis
(inflammation of the cornea) caused by organisms sensitive to Ofloxacin.
Ofloxacin belongs to a group of medicines called 4th generation quinolone antibiotics.
2. What you need to know before you use UrsAB
Do not use UrsAB
If you are allergic to Ofloxacin or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine
(listed in section 6), or to any other quinolone.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using UrsAB
- If you are hypersensitive to quinolone antibiotics
- If you have defects or lesions of the ocular surface. Prolonged use of the product may cause new bacterial infections that do not respond to treatment with UrsAB Long.
During treatment with eye drops containing ofloxacin, you should avoid exposure to sunlight or to
ultraviolet light (e.g. tanning lamps, solariums) due to potential
photosensitivity.
The use of contact lenses in patients undergoing treatment for an eye infection is not
recommended.
Swelling and rupture of tendons have been reported in people taking fluoroquinolones by
mouth or intravenously, particularly in elderly patients and those treated in
conjunction with corticosteroids. Stop taking UrsAB if you start to experience pain or
swelling of the tendons (tendonitis).
Caution should be exercised when using this type of medicine if you have been born with or have a family
history of prolonged QT interval (seen on ECG, electrical recording of the heart), if you
have an imbalance of salts in the blood (especially low levels of potassium or magnesium in
the blood), if you have a very slow heart rate (called 'bradycardia'), if you have a weak heart
(heart failure), if you have a history of heart attack (myocardial infarction), if you are female or
elderly or are taking other medicines that cause abnormal changes in the ECG (see
section Other medicines and UrsAB).
Children and adolescents
The product can be used in children. Safety and efficacy in children under one
year of age have not been established.
Other medicines and UrsAB
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or are currently taking any other medicines.
If, in addition to UrsAB, you are using other eye drops or ointments, an interval of about 15 minutes should be maintained between applications of the medicines. Ocular ointments should
always be applied last.
Tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines that may alter your heart rate:
medicines belonging to the group of antiarrhythmics (e.g. Quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide,
amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide), tricyclic antidepressants, some antimicrobials (which
belong to the group of macrolides), some antipsychotics.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding with
breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. The
doctor can then decide whether you can use UrsAB. The use of UrsAB is not recommended in
pregnant women.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Driving and operating machinery
Immediately after applying this product to the eye, some minutes of blurred vision may occur.
During this time, do not drive vehicles, use machinery or perform
work without a stable support.
UrsAB contains Benzalkonium chloride
This medicine contains 0.125 mg of benzalkonium chloride per 5 ml equivalent to 0.025 mg/ml.
Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and can lead to
changing their color. Remove contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15
minutes before re-applying them.
Benzalkonium chloride can also cause irritation to the eyes, especially if you have dry eyes or
corneal disorders (the most superficial transparent layer of the eye). If you experience an
abnormal sensation in the eye, burning or pain after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
3. How to use UrsAB
Use this medicine following the doctor's instructions exactly. If you have any doubts, consult your
doctor or pharmacist.
Dosage
Instill one drop of UrsAB into the infected eye(s) every 2/4 hours for the first two days and
subsequently 4 times a day. To be effective, UrsAB must be taken regularly.
Method of administration
- 1. Wash your hands.
- 2. Take a clean cloth and gently dab the area around the eye to remove moisture (Figure 1).
- 3. Unscrew the bottle and check that the applicator is clean.
- 4. Tilt your head back and gently lower the lower eyelid (Figure 2)
- 5. Instill 1 or 2 drops into the center of the lower eyelid (Figure 3). Be careful that the applicator does not touch the eye.
- 6. Release the lower eyelid and gently press the inner corner of the eye towards the nose (Figure 4). Keep your finger pressed against the nose, closing your eye slowly for a few seconds so that the drop spreads over the surface of the eye.
- 7. Remove excess medicine.
- 8. Repeat the operation for the other eye as well.
