Do you mean Erymax Opt, the erythromycin ophthalmic ointment? If not, tell me what you’re referring to.

If you mean erythromycin ophthalmic ointment (often sold as Erymax Opt or similar brands), here’s a quick overview:

- What it is: A topical macrolide antibiotic (erythromycin) used in the eye to treat bacterial conjunctivitis and to help prevent ophthalmia neonatorum.

- Typical uses:
- Bacterial conjunctivitis in adults and children
- Neonatal prophylaxis (for newborns)

- How to use (general guidelines; follow the exact instructions on the package or from a clinician):
- Wash hands before use.
- Tilt head back or look up.
- Gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
- Apply a thin ribbon of ointment (about 1 cm) into the lower conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s).
- Close the eye and blink slowly a few times to spread the ointment.
- Wash hands after administration.
- Dosing frequency varies by regimen, but a common pattern is about 4 times daily for several days (often 5–7 days). Newborn prophylaxis uses a single application to both eyes shortly after birth.
- If using other eye drops, wait a few minutes between different eye medicines.

- Common side effects:
- Temporary burning, stinging, or redness of the eye
- Blurred vision just after application
- Eye irritation or itching
- Rarely contact lens discomfort (consult your clinician about contact lens use while on this medication)

- Important precautions:
- Do not use if you’re allergic to erythromycin or other macrolide antibiotics.
- Use exactly as prescribed; do not share with others.
- If you wear contact lenses, ask your clinician before use.
- If symptoms worsen, don’t improve in 2–3 days, or you have vision changes or severe eye pain, seek medical advice promptly.

- Interactions:
- Generally limited with topical ophthalmic use, but if you’re using other eye drops or medications, space them by a few minutes as directed by your clinician.

- Storage:
- Store at room temperature away from light; check the package for specifics.

If you can tell me your country/region and whether you’re looking for dosing for a particular condition (e.g., adult conjunctivitis, neonatal prophylaxis, etc.), I can give you more precise dosing and a patient-friendly info sheet.
