Eye Ointment - (0.5 mg + 5 mg)/g - 3.5 g

Dexa-Neo contains the active substances dexamethasone sodium phosphate and neomycin sulfate. Dexamethasone sodium phosphate is a synthetic glucocorticoid, analogous of the natural glucocorticoids, with powerful anti-inflammatory and anti -allergic properties. Neomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a bactericidal action against gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. Neomycin sulphate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, active against most common pathogenic agents that are present in the eye such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella/Enterobacter species, and Neisseria species.

Dexa-Neo is used:

• for steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions for which a steroid antiinflammator is indicated and where bacterial infection or a risk of bacterial ocular infection exists;
• in inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe where the inherent risk of steroid use is accepted to obtain a diminution in edema and inflammation;
• in chronic anterior uveitis and corneal injury from chemical, radiation, or thermal burns, or penetration of foreign bodies;
• in conditions where the risk of infection is high.
