Ophthalmic steroid - antibiotic combined preparations Prescription

Indications

Conjunctivitis Inflammation

Prednisolone + Neomycin Sulphate + Polymixin B Sulphate is used for eye problems that need anti-inflammatory treatment, where an infection from bacteria sensitive to neomycin and/or polymyxin is already present or could become a risk. This includes nonpurulent conjunctivitis and blepharitis, scleritis, nonherpetic keratitis and dacryocystitis. Doctors also use it as preventive treatment after eye surgery, after a foreign body has been removed, and after chemical or thermal burns, abrasions, lacerations or other ocular trauma.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Doctors haven't established whether topical steroids are safe to use during pregnancy.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: For the eye itself, put in 1 drop every 3 to 4 hours, or more often if needed. If the lids need treating, put 1 drop in the eye every 3 to 4 hours, then close the eye and rub the excess over the lids and lid margins. Where the eye or lid inflammation comes with skin involvement around it, the drops can be spread liberally over that area and left to dry. Pediatric use: safety and effectiveness in children have not been evaluated.
