Indicated as a 5% ophthalmic suspension for treatment of fungal blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and keratitis caused by susceptible organisms, including Fusarium solani keratitis.
Contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to natamycin or any component of the formulation.
Post-marketing data identify rare but serious adverse reactions including corneal opacity, eye irritation, eye pain, foreign body sensation, and tearing. Adherence to the corneal surface may be affected.
Failure to improve after 7–10 days of therapy suggests the infection may be caused by a non-susceptible organism. Concomitant topical corticosteroid use should be avoided in fungal keratitis.
