The recommended dose is one drop of Brimosun P drops in the affected eye twice daily, approximately twelve hours apart.

       —  When applying the eye drops, tilt your head back and look at the ceiling

       —  Hold the bottle upside down above the eye and gently squeeze the bottle to release a drop of ophthalmic solution into the eye

Be sure not to touch the tip of the bottle on the eye or the surrounding surface. Ophthalmic solutions, if handled wrongly, can become contaminated by common bacteria and cause eye infections. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop any other eye condition while using the product.
