Betnesol N Eye Ointment

Betnesol N Eye Ointment is an ointment that contains Betamethasone + Neomycin, a steroid and antibiotic preparation. It is used for inflamed skin, eye and ear conditions with infection.

Uses of Betnesol N Eye Ointment

Betnesol N Eye Ointment is used for inflamed skin, eye, ear or nose conditions where a bacterial infection is present or likely. As a cream or ointment it treats infected eczema and dermatitis; as drops it is used for inflamed outer ear infections and some eye or nasal inflammation. It should be used only for as long as your doctor recommends.

How Betnesol N Eye Ointment works

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that calms inflammation, easing redness, swelling and itching. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that kills bacteria by stopping them from making essential proteins. Together they treat the infection and the inflammation around it.

Possible side effects

Used correctly and for short periods, Betnesol N Eye Ointment rarely causes problems. Common effects include:

• Stinging or burning on application
• Itching or irritation
• Temporary blurred vision after eye drops
• Skin thinning with long use

See a doctor for worsening pain or redness, changes in vision, any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, or a spreading rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Use only for the time prescribed, as long use can thin the skin or raise eye pressure.
• Do not use ear drops if you have, or might have, a perforated eardrum, as neomycin can damage hearing.
• Do not use it on viral or fungal infections such as cold sores, herpes of the eye or ringworm.
• Avoid large areas of broken skin and long use in children.
• Speak to your doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
