Uses of Dexachlor Eye Drop 5ml

Dexachlor Eye Drop 5ml eye drops are used for eye conditions where there is inflammation together with a bacterial infection or a high risk of one, such as some cases of conjunctivitis, inflamed eyelids or inflammation after eye surgery. The steroid calms redness and swelling while the antibiotic deals with the bacteria. It should only be used when prescribed after an eye examination.

How Dexachlor Eye Drop 5ml works

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that switches off the inflammatory response in the eye, reducing redness, swelling, itching and discomfort while the infection clears.

Possible side effects

Most people use Dexachlor Eye Drop 5ml without problems. Short-lived effects after putting the drops in include:

• Brief stinging or burning
• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye irritation or itching
• Unusual taste in the mouth

Stop using the drops and see a doctor urgently if you have eye pain, worsening redness, a noticeable change in vision, or signs of allergy such as swollen eyelids or face.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it for a red eye that has not been examined, as steroid drops can make viral (herpes) or fungal eye infections much worse.
• Longer use can raise the pressure inside the eye or lead to cataracts, so use it only for the time your doctor recommends.
• Remove contact lenses before use and do not wear them while you are being treated for an eye infection.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface to keep the bottle clean.
• Tell your doctor if you or a family member has ever had a blood disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage
