Ofdex Eye/Ear Drops is a combination of corticosteroid and an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections of the eye and ear. Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria invade and multiply in the body.
Ofdex Eye/Ear Drops contains Dexamethasone and Ofloxacin. Dexamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Ofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Ofdex Eye/Ear Drops is for external use only. Common side effects of Ofdex Eye/Ear Drops when used as eye drops include irritation, itching, redness, burning or a stinging sensation, and temporary blurred vision. The side effects of ear drops include mild irritation, ear discomfort, headache, earache, taste changes, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
