Combined preparation for topical application in ophthalmology.

pharmachologic effect

Pharmacological action - anti-inflammatory local, antibacterial local.

Pharmacodynamics

Neomycin - has a bactericidal effect, disrupting protein synthesis in a microbial cell. It is active against Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Streptococcus viridans, Escherichia coli, Klesiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Aerobacter aerogenes, Haemophilus influenzae. Not very effective against streptococci. It does not affect pathogenic fungi, viruses, anaerobic flora. The resistance of microorganisms to neomycin develops slowly and to a small extent.

Polymyxin B. The mechanism of action is mainly due to blockade of the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells. It is active against P. aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klesiella pneumoniae, Koch-Weeks bacillus.

Dexamethasone - GCS. Has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and desensitizing effects. Has an antiexudative effect. Dexamethasone effectively suppresses inflammatory processes.

The combination of dexamethasone with antibiotics can reduce the risk of developing an infectious process.

Pharmacokinetics

With topical application, systemic absorption is low.

Indications

Infections of the eyes and its appendages:

Blepharitis,

conjunctivitis;

Keratoconjunctivitis;

Keratitis;

Iridocyclitis;

Prevention of postoperative inflammation of the anterior part of the eye.

Contraindications

Individual hypersensitivity to any of the components of this drug;

Viral diseases of the eyes (including keratitis caused by herpes simplex, chicken pox);

Mycobacterial infection of the eyes;

Tuberculosis diseases of the eyes;

Acute shingles;

Fungal diseases of the eyes;

Condition after removal of the foreign body of the cornea;

A purulent infection of the mucous membrane of the eye and eyelids caused by microorganisms resistant to the action of neomycin, a purulent corneal ulcer.

With caution appoint for glaucoma, cataract.

pregnancy and lactation

Sufficient experience in the use of the drug during pregnancy and lactation is not present. It is possible to use the treatment for pregnant women on prescription of the attending physician if the expected curative effect exceeds the risk of development of possible side effects. It is necessary to interrupt the use of the drug for the period of breastfeeding.

APPLICATION IN PEDIATRICS. At the moment, the safety and effectiveness of the drug for children are not established.

Side effects

Local. Allergic reaction, accompanied by itching and swelling of the eyelids, as well as reddening of the conjunctiva. Side effects due to the steroid component: increased intraocular pressure with possible subsequent development of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve and visual fields (with the use of the drug for more than 10 days, monitoring of intraocular pressure is necessary); Posterior subcapsular cataract, slowing down the process of wound healing. Local use of steroids in diseases that cause thinning of the cornea or sclera can lead to their perforation.

Secondary infection

The development of secondary infection is observed after the use of combined preparations containing glucocorticosteroids in combination with antibiotics. With prolonged use of steroids, it is possible to develop fungal infections of the cornea. The appearance of non-healing ulcers on the cornea after prolonged treatment with steroid preparations may indicate the development of fungal infestation. Secondary bacterial infection can occur as a consequence of suppression of the protective reaction of the patient's body.

Interaction

Interaction with other drugs is not currently known.

In case of use with other local ophthalmic preparations, the interval between their use should be at least 10 minutes.
