Ciprofloxacin 0.3% w/v + Dexamethasone 0.05% w/v Eye Drop
₹69.30
The eye drops containing Ciprofloxacin 0.3% w/v + Dexamethasone 0.05% w/v are a prescription medication used to treat bacterial eye infections and associated inflammation.
Key Ingredients and Functions
This medication combines an antibiotic and a corticosteroid to address both the infection and the inflammation.
- Ciprofloxacin: This is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from dividing and repairing their DNA. It is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria that cause eye infections.
- Dexamethasone: This is a potent corticosteroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for redness, swelling, and itching. This helps relieve the symptoms associated with the infection.
Common Uses
- Bacterial eye infections: Treatment of conditions such as bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) and corneal ulcers.
- Inflammation management: Used to reduce inflammation and symptoms like pain, redness, itching, and swelling that often accompany eye infections or post-operative conditions.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and mild, usually resolving on their own. Consult a doctor if they persist or worsen.
- Burning, stinging, or discomfort at the application site.
- Temporary blurred vision after application.
- White deposits on the cornea (eye surface).
- Unpleasant taste in the mouth.
- Headache.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Only: Use this medication only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as an ophthalmologist.
- External Use: This product is for external ophthalmic (eye) or otic (ear) use only. Avoid contact with the mouth or nose and rinse with water immediately if accidental contact occurs.
- Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses (hard or soft) during treatment. Remove lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
- Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface (including the eye) to prevent contamination.
- Do Not Stop Early: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cured and prevent recurrence or antibiotic resistance.
- Prolonged Use: Prolonged use of the steroid component (dexamethasone) can increase the risk of secondary infections (e.g., fungal infections), glaucoma, and cataracts. Use only for the duration advised by your doctor.
- Viral/Fungal Infections: This medication should not be used for viral or fungal eye infections, including herpes simplex.
