Dexatrol eye ointment is used to treat eye infections caused by bacterial infection or irritation. It contains an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory substance that work together to reduce redness, swelling, and itching.
Dexatrol ointment also helps reduce pain resulting from inflammation and helps speed up healing. It is applied inside the lower eyelid with caution. The doctor's instructions must be followed regarding the number of times of use and the duration of treatment. The tip of the tube must be avoided from touching the eye or eyelashes to avoid contamination. It is not recommended to use it for long periods without medical supervision to avoid complications such as increased eye pressure or an allergy to the drug.
