Description

Ointment, Ophthalmic Neo Poly Dex 3.5 gm is a combination medication commonly used in the treatment of eye infections and inflammatory conditions. It contains three active ingredients: neomycin, polymyxin B, and dexamethasone. Neomycin and polymyxin B are antibiotics that work together to combat bacterial infections by disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting protein synthesis. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation and associated symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching.

This ophthalmic ointment is designed for topical application to the eyes. Its smooth consistency ensures even distribution over the ocular surface, allowing the active ingredients to remain in contact with the affected area for a prolonged period. This formulation is particularly effective in managing bacterial conjunctivitis and keratitis, as well as post-operative inflammation following eye surgeries.

Proper administration involves applying a small amount of the ointment to the affected eye, typically inside the lower eyelid, as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients are advised to wash their hands before use to minimize contamination. Contact lenses should not be worn during treatment to avoid interference with the medication.
