Medicine Description fml-neo
FML-Neo Eye Drops is a medication that combines two active ingredients: dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, and neomycin, an antibiotic. Dexamethasone works by inhibiting the inflammatory response, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, and stabilizing cell membranes to prevent the release of substances that trigger swelling and redness. Neomycin, on the other hand, acts by binding to bacterial ribosomes, disrupting protein synthesis, and ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. This synergistic action of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects makes FML-Neo effective in managing ocular inflammation that may be complicated by or at risk for bacterial infection.
