Gentamicin 0.3% w/v + Dexamethasone 0.1% w/v, 10mL Eye/Ear Drops
SKU GME1132Eye Care
Product Introduction
Gentamicin 0.3% w/v + Dexamethasone 0.1% w/v eye/ear drops treat susceptible bacterial eye or outer-ear infections with steroid-responsive inflammation. The antibiotic targets bacteria while the corticosteroid eases the associated swelling and irritation.
How to use
For the eye, place the drops in the lower-eyelid pocket. For the ear, keep the affected ear upward after application. Use separate bottles for eye and infected-ear treatment. Space different eye medicines by at least five minutes.
How it works
Gentamicin binds bacterial 30S ribosomes and disrupts protein synthesis. Dexamethasone suppresses local inflammatory signalling to reduce swelling and irritation.
Side effects
Stinging, burning, itching, local allergy or transient blur may occur. Prolonged ocular steroid use can raise pressure or delay healing. Gentamicin can damage hearing if it reaches the middle ear through a perforation.
Important information
A perforated eardrum or ventilation tubes are particularly important because of gentamicin-related ototoxicity. Ocular herpes, fungal infection, glaucoma and thin corneas also affect suitability.
Uses
- Susceptible bacterial eye or outer-ear infections with steroid-responsive inflammation.
Benefits
Treats bacterial involvement while easing the accompanying inflammatory swelling and soreness.
Why does an eardrum perforation matter?
A perforation can let gentamicin reach structures that are vulnerable to hearing or balance injury.
Is this suitable for fungal ear infection?
Gentamicin does not treat fungi, and the steroid can make an uncontrolled fungal infection worse.
Does the combination contain an anaesthetic?
No. Neither gentamicin nor dexamethasone is a local anaesthetic.
Why might eye pressure be checked during a longer course?
Dexamethasone can increase pressure without causing early discomfort.
What should new dizziness or hearing loss prompt?
Stop ear use and obtain prompt assessment because these symptoms can indicate inner-ear involvement or toxicity.
