Will Zirgan Help Subside Recurrence Of Swelling And Pain In Eye?
My left is swollen, very painful when I blink, very watery. Every so often this keeps recurring.
The last doctor that has seen me precribed Zirgan. I used it this time for 2 days already but my eye
still is the same. What should I do for the meantime?

Hello
Zirgan is ganciclovir and it is used for treatment of viral keratitis.
Hence it seems from the history that you are having recurrent keratitis probably viral in etiology.
The recurrent attacks of viral keratitis leading to swelling and pain require oral antivirals like acyclovir and they are effective in preventing recurrent attacks of viral keratitis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of the drug.
Thank you
