Conjunctivitis

Quick Relief for Conjunctivitis

When eye irritation strikes, Roslyn Pharmacy is here to help. Our trained pharmacists can quickly identify and treat bacterial conjunctivitis and minor eyelid infections like styes.


Thanks to our partnership with Early Care, we're able to prescribe Chloramphenicol for children as young as 3 months, not just those over 2 years old. We offer Chloramphenicol in both drop and ointment forms, suitable for all eligible ages.

For children aged 3 months to 2 years, a consultation fee applies due to the additional care and consideration required. For those aged 2 to 13, treatment is available under Extended Pharmacy Services (EPS). For those aged 14 and over, no consultation fee is charged - just the cost of medication.

Please note, if you're a contact lens wearer and develop conjunctivitis while wearing your lenses, it's important to see your doctor or optometrist. In such cases, we cannot supply Chloramphenicol, as you may require a different treatment.
