Dextracin Eye/Ear Drops 5mL – Dexamethasone & Neomycin for Bacterial Infections & Inflammation
Dextracin Eye/Ear Drops are a combination of two powerful active ingredients: Dexamethasone Phosphate, a corticosteroid, and Neomycin Sulphate, an antibiotic. These drops are specially formulated to treat a variety of bacterial infections and inflammation affecting the eyes and ears. They are commonly prescribed for conditions such as Conjunctivitis caused by Neomycin-sensitive organisms, External ear infections, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders that affect the ocular or auditory regions.
Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation and relieves symptoms like swelling, redness, and irritation. Neomycin, on the other hand, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by stopping bacterial growth, preventing the infection from worsening or spreading. When combined, these ingredients work together to address both the inflammatory and bacterial components of the infection, promoting faster healing and symptom relief.
Dextracin Eye/Ear Drops are designed for topical application and provide relief from discomfort caused by various eye and ear conditions. Whether you're dealing with bacterial conjunctivitis, an outer ear infection, or allergic reactions, these drops are an effective solution to reduce symptoms and promote recovery. For optimal results, follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations on dosage and usage.
