About Opthodex Eye Drop
Opthodex Eye Drop is an ophthalmic medication that belongs to the class of 'antibiotics & corticosteroids' primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva). A bacterial eye infection occurs when bacteria invade any part of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, including the cornea (clear front surface of the eye) and the conjunctiva (thin membrane lining the outer eye and inner eyelids).
Opthodex Eye Drop is composed of Chloramphenicol and Dexamethasone. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacterial growth. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy.
Opthodex Eye Drop is for ophthalmic use only. Common side effects of Opthodex Eye Drop include redness of the eye, stinging/burning sensation, and temporary blurred vision. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.
Let your doctor know if you are allergic to Opthodex Eye Drop or any other medications. Avoid contact of the dispensing tip with the eye, eyelids, fingers, and other surfaces to prevent contamination. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Opthodex Eye Drop. This medicine may cause temporary blurred vision; hence drive only when you are alert and have clear vision. Opthodex Eye Drop should be used in children only when advised by a doctor.
