Introduction to PC Dex Eye/Ear Drops
PC Dex Eye/Ear Drops is a prescribed solution developed to treat bacterial infections in the eye or ear. Combining Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic, and Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, this medication works in two ways: Chloramphenicol inhibits the growth of bacteria by blocking protein synthesis necessary for bacterial functions, while Dexamethasone reduces inflammation by preventing the production of substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and itching.
How to Use PC Dex Eye/Ear Drops
This medication is intended for external use only on the affected eye or ear. Follow the dosage instructions given by your doctor, and refer to the label for application guidance. Before use, wash your hands thoroughly. To apply, hold the dropper close to the eye or ear without touching the area, gently squeeze to dispense the drop, and remove any excess liquid with a clean tissue. Avoid using more or less than the prescribed amount, and continue the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve.
Possible Side Effects
Some individuals may experience mild side effects after application, including a burning sensation, stinging, eye irritation, or temporary blurred vision. These reactions are typically short-lived, but contact your doctor if they persist or worsen. Avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after use, as temporary blurred vision may occur.
Precautions
Inform your doctor if you have allergies to any of the components in PC Dex Eye/Ear Drops or if you are taking other medications. If accidental contact with the mouth or nose occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Always complete the treatment as advised to ensure the infection is entirely eliminated and to prevent its return.
