Mechanism of Action

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid with mainly glucocorticoid activity; it is used topically mainly for its anti-inflammatory action. Neomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic that is used topically for the treatment of infections of the skin, ear and eye due to susceptible staphylococci and other organisms. Polymyxin B is active only against gram-negative bacteria especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Absorption: Dexamethasone/neomycin/polymyxin B: Sufficiently absorbed after ophthalmic application to exert pharmacological effects.

Special Precautions

Prolonged use may cause glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and fields of vision, posterior subcapsular cataract formation and increased risk of secondary ocular infections. Increased risk of perforations in diseases which can cause thinning of the cornea or sclera. Corticosteroids may mask infection or worsen existing infections in acute purulent conditions of the eye. Regular monitoring of the intraocular pressure is recommended if product is used for ≥10 days. Long term application of topical corticosteroids may also increase the risk of ocular fungal infections.
