Why is Zirgan prescribed?

Zirgan (Ganciclovir) is typically used to treat acute herpetic keratitis, an eye infection affecting the cornea, caused by the herpes simplex virus.

What does it do?

Zirgan works by inhibiting the herpes simplex viruses' ability to produce DNA, preventing them from multiplying in the body.

How should I take it?

This medication is for eye use only. Wash your hands before and after use, and avoid touching the dropper tip. Tilt your head back, pull your lower eyelid down, and apply the prescribed drops into the pouch formed. Close your eye gently to spread the medication. Your vision may blur briefly.

Use the drops at regular intervals and do not exceed the prescribed frequency. Complete the full course as directed, even if your condition improves.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Zirgan, apply it as soon as possible. If it's almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and use the scheduled dose.

It's crucial to finish the full prescribed course of Zirgan, even if your symptoms improve or disappear. This helps reduce the risk of future infections becoming resistant to Zirgan or similar medications.

What are the special precautions before taking Zirgan?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

• Wear contact lenses
• Are breastfeeding
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Have had an unusual or allergic reaction to Acyclovir, Ganciclovir, dyes, foods, other medications, or preservatives

Avoid wearing contact lenses if you have any signs or symptoms of an eye infection. Consult your doctor to determine when it’s safe to resume wearing your contacts.

Discontinue use of this medication immediately if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction.

To prevent spreading the infection, do not share towels, eye products, or washcloths with others.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Blurred vision
• Eye irritation or itching
• Redness, mild burning, or stinging in the eye

This is not a complete list of side effects. For medical advice about side effects, contact your doctor.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

No interactions are expected, but avoid using any other eye products without consulting your doctor or healthcare provider first.

This list may not cover all possible interactions. Be sure to provide your healthcare provider with a list of all medications, herbs, over-the-counter drugs, and dietary supplements you are taking.

How should I store it?

Store between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Do not freeze. Dispose of any unused medicine after the expiration date.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you have taken too much Zirgan, go to the emergency room immediately.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Pregnancy: The effects of Zirgan on pregnancy or an unborn baby are unknown. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, and they will advise you on whether to use Zirgan.

Breastfeeding: It is unclear if Zirgan passes into breast milk. Let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding or planning to do so, and they will guide you on whether to continue using Zirgan.
