About Adc Eye Drop 5 ml

Adc Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to a group of medicines called ophthalmic agents primarily used in the treatment of uveitis and its associated symptoms. Uveitis is inflammation of the eye's middle layer, called the uvea or uveal tract. It can cause eye pain and changes to your vision. The causes of uveitis could be an eye injury, viral/bacterial infection, or any underlying disease conditions.

Adc Eye Drop 5 ml contains Atropine, chloramphenicol, and dexamethasone. Atropine is an anticholinergic medication that works through dilation of the pupil and relaxation of the ocular muscles. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by blocking the synthesis of key proteins that bacteria require to perform vital tasks. Dexamethasone is a steroid that inhibits the development of chemical messengers (prostaglandins), which cause the eyes to become red and puffy. Altogether Adc Eye Drop 5 ml treats uveitis.
