AFM-T is a pharmaceutical-grade, dual-action ophthalmic suspension designed for the clinical management of steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions where a bacterial infection is present or at high risk. It combines Fluorometholone, a potent corticosteroid that reduces localized swelling and redness, with Tobramycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets and eliminates sensitive bacteria. This balanced formula provides a stable clinical tool for resolving complex eye irritations in the Nigerian environment.

AFM-T is primarily indicated for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe. It is used when the clinical objective is to reduce localized inflammation while simultaneously treating or preventing a superficial bacterial infection. Common uses include managing post-operative inflammation and severe allergic conjunctivitis complicated by infection.
Shake Well Before Use: This is a suspension; you must shake the bottle vigorously before each application to ensure the active molecules are systemically distributed in the drop.
Prolonged Use Warning: Using steroid eye drops for more than 10 days can lead to increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma) or the localized development of cataracts. Regular pressure checks by an eye specialist are required for extended therapy.
Fungal Infections: Long-term use of steroids in the eye can predispose the localized tissue to secondary fungal infections. Consult your doctor if the condition does not improve within 7 days.
Contamination Risk: Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, or any other surface. Touching the tip clears the path for bacterial contamination of the entire 5ml bottle.
Wash your hands thoroughly before use. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and instill one or two drops into the localized conjunctival sac as directed by your doctor (usually every 4 to 6 hours). Close your eye and press gently on the inner corner (near the nose) for one minute to prevent the medication from draining into the systemic circulation. If using other eye drops, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applications.
Commonly reported effects include temporary blurred vision immediately after application, mild stinging, or localized eye itching. Some patients may experience increased tearing or eyelid redness. Consult your eye specialist immediately if you experience severe eye pain, a sudden change in vision, or localized swelling of the eyelid that worsens over time.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. In the Nigerian climate, localized heat can degrade the steroid and antibiotic molecules; ensure the cap is tightly closed after every use. Discard any remaining liquid 28 days after opening to prevent the use of a contaminated solution. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy AFM-T at Sanlive Pharmacy? > A: Yes. AFM-T is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Because it contains a potent steroid, a valid prescription from an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist is required for purchase.
Q: Can I use AFM-T while wearing contact lenses? > A: No. The preservative in the drops (Benzalkonium Chloride) can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and cause localized irritation. Remove lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Q: Can I stop using the drops as soon as my eye feels better? > A: No. You must complete the full clinical course prescribed by your doctor. Stopping antibiotic-steroid combinations too early can cause the localized infection to return or the inflammation to "rebound."
Q: Is it safe to use AFM-T for a simple "Apollo" (viral conjunctivitis)? > A: You must consult a professional. AFM-T is for bacterial and inflammatory conditions; using steroids for certain viral infections (like Herpes Simplex) can systemically damage the cornea.
