Topical means intended for use on the body surfaces, usually only the skin, but sometimes medicines intended for the inside of the mouth (but not swallowed) or other mucus tissues in body cavities, like in and near the rectum, vagina, etc. could also be considered topical. Always follow the label directions when using medications and apply topical and ophthalmic drugs only as directed by the label or by your health care professional. If you aren't sure, ask the dispensing Pharmacist for clarification on the administration. Sometimes medicines intended for the skin near the eyes are categorized as both topical and ophthalmic preparations, since they must be safe for administration to an area that could allow the medicine to come in contact with the eyes even though applied to the eye lids or other tissues near the eye. Eye antibiotic ointments may be prescribed for use in and/or near the eyes, be sure to ask the Pharmacist if you are not sure how to administer any types of medicines.
