Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml

Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml is used to treat bacterial infections in the eyes or ears. Understandably, eye or ear infections can be quite painful and disruptive; this medicine is designed to help you heal quickly and comfortably.  The detailed uses of Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml are as follows:

• Bacterial eye infections: Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml helps clear conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other surface eye infections by destroying the bacteria causing the illness.
• Bacterial ear infections: Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml treats outer ear canal infections by killing harmful bacteria and reducing painful swelling in the ear canal.
• Post-surgery inflammation and infection prevention: Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml is used after certain eye surgeries to prevent bacterial infections and control swelling during recovery.

By combining two antibiotics with a steroid, Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml provides rapid, multi-action relief from uncomfortable symptoms. This medicine brings several key health benefits:

• Rapid pain and swelling relief: The swelling, redness, and throbbing pain in your eye or ear are quickly eased, allowing you to rest comfortably.
• Fights the root cause: It targets and kills the specific bacteria causing the infection, preventing it from spreading or getting worse.
• Faster recovery: Combining infection control with inflammation relief helps your delicate eye or ear tissues heal much faster than using antibiotics alone.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• For eye use: Tilt your head back and gently pull your lower eyelid downwards and instil the advised number of drops into the eye pouch.
• For ear use: Tilt your head to the side and gently instil the advised number of drops into the ear. Keep your head tilted for a minute to allow the drops to soak in.
• Do not touch the dropper with your bare hands to prevent contamination.

• Avoid contact lenses: Do not wear contact lenses while treating an eye infection, as the lenses can trap bacteria and worsen the infection.
• Keep ears dry: Keep your ears completely dry when bathing or swimming if you are treating an ear infection; use earplugs or a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly to block water.
• Wash your hands: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before and after touching your eyes or ears, to prevent spreading the infection.
• Do not share personal items: Avoid sharing towels, pillows, or washcloths with others to protect them from catching the infection.
• Avoid rubbing or inserting objects: Avoid rubbing your eyes or inserting cotton swabs into your ears, as this can irritate the delicate tissues and delay healing.

• Check before use: Check the solution before each use; do not use it if the liquid is cloudy, discoloured, or contains particles.
• Keep the dropper clean: Never touch the tip of the dropper to your eye, ear, fingers, or any other surface to prevent bacterial contamination of the bottle.
• Wait between medicines: If you are using other eye or ear drops, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes after applying Polysporin Dexa Eye/Ear Drops 5 ml before using the other medication.
• Use only as prescribed: Do not use this medicine for longer than prescribed; prolonged use of steroid drops can increase pressure in the eye or lead to secondary infections.
• Remove contact lenses: Always remove contact lenses before applying eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, unless your doctor advises you not to wear them at all.
• Who should not use:  A known hypersensitivity to any of the three active ingredients of this product.
