Albucid eye drops, also known as sulfacetamide sodium ophthalmic solution, are a widely used antibacterial medication formulated specifically for topical use in the eyes to treat bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), corneal ulcers, and other ocular surface infections. As a sulfonamide antibiotic, Albucid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through the blockade of dihydropteroate synthase, an enzyme essential for folic acid production in bacteria, thereby halting bacterial growth and allowing the body’s immune system to eliminate the infection. This mechanism makes Albucid bacteriostatic—it doesn’t kill bacteria outright but prevents them from multiplying. Albucid is typically available in concentrations of 10% or 20%, with the 20% strength more common in pediatric use and the 30% strength more commonly used in adults. It is applied directly into the affected eye in the form of sterile eye drops, often several times a day depending on the severity of the infection and physician recommendations. The treatment course usually spans 5 to 10 days, but it is crucial to complete the full regimen even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent relapse or resistance. Albucid eye drops are colorless or slightly yellow, watery in consistency, and dispensed in dropper bottles that allow for precise dosing.
