About this active substance

Neomycin, dexamethasone, and polymyxin are used together to treat bacterial infections of the eyes or ears. Neomycin and polymyxin are antibiotics that work by killing the bacteria responsible for the infection, while dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and discomfort.

This combination is effective in treating bacterial conjunctivitis, otitis externa, and other superficial bacterial infections. It is important to use the medication as directed by your doctor to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.

Side effects may include local irritation, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications they are using or known allergies, as this combination may interact with other treatments or worsen certain pre-existing conditions.
