S01CA01 • dexamethasone + levofloxacin • Sensory organs | Antiinflammatory agents and antiinfectives in combination | Corticosteroids and antiinfectives in combination

Dexamethasone + levofloxacin is a combination medication primarily used for the treatment of eye infections involving inflammation and bacterial infection. This combination is commonly available as eye drops and combines a corticosteroid with an antibiotic:

- Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and discomfort associated with eye infections.
- Levofloxacin is an antibiotic from the fluoroquinolone class that works by killing the bacteria responsible for the infection.

This combination is indicated for the treatment of bacterial eye infections, such as bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, or other inflammatory eye conditions associated with bacterial infections.

Side effects may include a burning or stinging sensation in the eye, temporary blurred vision, dry eyes, or, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Prolonged use of corticosteroids may increase the risk of secondary infections, glaucoma, or cataracts. It is important to use the medication as prescribed by a doctor and not discontinue it without medical advice.
