BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and ear. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a common bacterial eye infection associated with the conjunctiva's (white part of the eye) inflammation or infection and the inner eyelid. An ear infection occurs when the bacteria affect the middle or outer ear, leading to pain and inflammation. BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN does not work against infections caused by fungi.
BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN contains Dexamethasone, Neomycin, and Boric acid. Dexamethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause swelling, itching, and redness. Neomycin kills the bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for survival of the bacteria. Boric acid acts against bacterial infections and provides soothing relief. Together, BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN helps in treating bacterial infections.
You are advised to use BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN may cause certain common side-effects such as pain, irritation, itching, and stinging sensation in some cases. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Talk to your doctor if the irritation persists despite using BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN for a week or if it worsens. Consult your doctor before using BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. BORIC ACID+DEXAMETHASONE+NEOMYCIN should be used in children only if prescribed by the doctor. Please do not touch the tip of the dropper, as it may contaminate the contents. Keep your doctor informed regarding your health condition and the medicines you are taking to prevent any side-effects/interactions.

Eye infections:
Ear infections:
Eye infections: An eye infection occurs when bacteria affect the eye. The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, and keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. A stye is a bump on the eyelid or base of eyelashes. Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea. It is a common problem in people who wear contact lenses. Eye infection symptoms include redness, pain, discomfort, itchiness, burning sensation, and discharge from the eye.
Ear infections: An ear infection occurs when the bacteria affect the middle or outer ear, leading to pain and inflammation. An ear infection occurs when the Eustachian tubes (small tubes that run from each ear to the back of the throat) become blocked or swollen. Ear infections can be painful due to inflammation and fluid build-up. An ear infection's symptoms include pain, discomfort inside the ear, pus or fluid-like drainage from the ear, pressure inside the ear, and loss of hearing.
