POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM

How POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM Works

• POLYNASE D Eye Ointment is a combination medication designed to treat bacterial eye infections and reduce inflammation. It contains two active ingredients: Polymyxin B, an antibiotic, and Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid.
• Polymyxin B works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to increased permeability and leakage of essential cellular components. This weakens the bacteria, inhibits their growth, and ultimately leads to their death. Polymyxin B is effective against a variety of gram-negative bacteria, which are common causes of eye infections.
• Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the eye. It works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response, which includes reducing swelling, redness, itching, and pain. Dexamethasone inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators and reduces the activity of immune cells in the affected area.
• When POLYNASE D Eye Ointment is applied to the eye, Polymyxin B targets and eliminates the bacteria causing the infection, while Dexamethasone reduces the associated inflammation. This dual action helps to relieve symptoms, promote healing, and prevent further damage to the eye.
• The ointment formulation allows for prolonged contact with the eye surface, providing sustained release of the active ingredients. This ensures that the medication remains in the affected area for a longer period, maximizing its therapeutic effect. The ointment also acts as a protective barrier, shielding the eye from further irritation and promoting a moist environment conducive to healing.
• It is important to use POLYNASE D Eye Ointment exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve, to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve after several days of treatment, consult your doctor.

Possible side effects of POLYNASE D Eye Ointment may include: * Eye irritation (burning, stinging, redness, itching) * Blurred vision * Temporary discomfort in the eye * Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) * Increased pressure inside the eye (rare) * Cataract formation (with prolonged use) * Delayed wound healing * Secondary eye infections

• If you miss a dose of POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5GM at room temperature.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM to prevent contamination of the ointment and your eye. This minimizes the risk of infection.
• Apply a thin layer of POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM inside the lower eyelid as directed by your doctor, usually two to three times a day. Avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Gently close your eye for 1-2 minutes after application to allow the ointment to spread.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM and wait at least 15 minutes after application before reinserting them. This is because the ointment can blur your vision and may interact with the lens material.
• Complete the full course of treatment with POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve after a few days. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to a recurrence of the infection or the development of antibiotic resistance. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve after a week, consult your doctor.

• Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements, before using POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM. Certain medications may interact with polymyxin B and dexamethasone, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Also, disclose any allergies you have, especially to antibiotics or corticosteroids.

• There are no known interactions between POLYNASE D EYE OINTMENT 5 GM and food. This medicine is for external use only and is applied topically to the eye. Therefore, it is unlikely to interact with food consumed orally.
