Medicine Description dexatrol 3.5mg
Dexatrol 3.5mg Eye Oint is a medication that combines dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, with neomycin, an antibiotic. Dexamethasone exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the inflammatory response, reducing the influx of white blood cells to the site of inflammation, and decreasing the production of inflammatory mediators. Neomycin works by binding to bacterial ribosomes, thereby interrupting protein synthesis and effectively inhibiting the growth of susceptible bacteria. Together, these components address both the inflammatory symptoms and the underlying bacterial infection, providing a comprehensive approach to managing ocular conditions.
