Flucocid Eye Drop starts working as early as within 3 days. The itching and discharge (if any) are the first ones to get better. Pain and soreness may take a little longer to resolve, and in some cases it can even take up to 7 days. But, if it takes longer or if your symptoms do not subside or get worse, consult your doctor immediately.
No, you should not stop using Flucocid Eye Drop suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because your symptoms may worsen and your infection may return.

Stopping the medication too early could allow the fungus to continue to grow and hence, prevent complete healing.
