PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Combination drug for topical application in ophthalmology.
Neomycin has a bactericidal effect, disrupting the synthesis of the bacterial cell protein. It is active against Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium diphteriae, Streptococcus viridans, Escherichia coli, Klesiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Aerobacter aerogenes, Haemophillus influenzae .
The mechanism of action of polymyxin B is mainly due to blockade of the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells. It is active againstPseudomonas aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klesiella pneumoniae, Koch-Weeks bacillus.
Dexamethasone
GCS. Has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and desensitizing effects. Has an antiexudative effect. Dexamethasone effectively suppresses inflammatory processes.
Combination of SCS with antibiotics allows to reduce the risk of development of the infectious process.

INDICATIONS
Infections of the eyes and its appendages:
- blepharitis;
- conjunctivitis;
- keratoconjunctivitis;
- keratitis;
- Iridocyclitis.
Prevention of postoperative infectious complications.
DOSING MODE
Locally. With a mild infectious process , 1-2 drops in the conjunctival sac 4-6 times / day.
In acute severe infectious process , 1-2 drops in the conjunctival sac every 60 minutes with a decrease in the frequency of instillations of the drug as the phenomena of inflammation decrease.
SIDE EFFECT
Local. Allergic reaction, accompanied by itching and swelling of the eyelids, hyperemia of the conjunctiva. Side effects due to the steroid component: increased intraocular pressure with possible subsequent development of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve and visual fields (with the use of the drug for more than 10 days, monitoring of intraocular pressure is necessary); posterior subcapsular cataract, slowing down the process of wound healing. Local use of steroids in diseases that cause thinning of the cornea or sclera can lead to their perforation.
Secondary infection. The development of secondary infection is observed after the use of combined preparations containing glucocorticosteroids in combination with antibiotics. With prolonged use of steroids, fungal infections of the cornea may develop. The appearance of non-healing ulcers on the cornea after prolonged treatment with steroid preparations may indicate the development of fungal infestation. Secondary bacterial infection can arise as a consequence of suppression of the protective reaction of the patient's body.
