Diclogenta Eye/Ear Drops 5mL – Effective Treatment for Bacterial Eye and Ear Infections
Diclogenta Eye/Ear Drops 5mL combine two potent active ingredients—Gentamicin and Dexamethasone—to provide targeted treatment for bacterial infections affecting the eyes and ears.
Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. It is particularly effective against gentamicin-sensitive organisms, commonly responsible for infections like bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and ear infections.
Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps alleviate symptoms of inflammation, redness, and swelling caused by infection. By reducing these symptoms, it helps to promote healing and provide relief from discomfort.
This powerful combination is ideal for treating eye and ear infections such as:
- Bacterial Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
- Blepharitis (Inflammation of the Eyelids)
- External Ear Infections (Otitis Externa)
- Other bacterial infections sensitive to Gentamicin
Diclogenta Eye/Ear Drops are easy to administer, effective, and provide fast relief for both eye and ear infections. It is especially effective in preventing the spread of bacterial infections in sensitive areas of the body.
How to use Diclogenta Eye/Ear Drops 5mL
- For Eye Use: Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid. Gently apply the prescribed number of drops without letting the dropper tip touch any surface or the eye.
- For Ear Use: Lie on your side with the affected ear facing upward. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal, then remain in position for a few minutes to allow the drops to work.
Use the drops as prescribed, typically multiple times a day for a set duration. Always wash your hands before and after applying the drops.

- Avoid using Diclogenta Drops if you are allergic to Gentamicin, Dexamethasone, or any similar medications.
- Not suitable for treating viral or fungal infections in the eye or ear.
- Do not wear contact lenses during treatment unless directed by your doctor.
- Use with caution if you have glaucoma, eye injuries, or if you are on other eye/ear medications.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this medication under medical supervision.
- Long-term use may cause secondary infections or elevated eye pressure.
- Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the treatment period ends.
Possible Side Effects
While Diclogenta Eye/Ear Drops are generally well tolerated, some people may experience:
- Burning, stinging, or itching at the application site.
- Eye discomfort or blurred vision (for eye applications).
- Ear discomfort, ringing, or dizziness (for ear applications).
Prolonged or improper use may increase the risk of developing a secondary infection or increased eye pressure, particularly in individuals with a history of glaucoma.
