Q. What is the right way to use Broflam 0.09% Eye Drop?

Always wash your hands before (and after) using Broflam 0.09% Eye Drop. This prevents you from passing the infection from one eye to the other. Remove the cap just before using your medicine and replace it as soon as you have finished. Avoid touching the nozzle of the bottle with your fingers.
