About Dexapin C Eye Drop

Dexapin C Eye Drop 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.

Dexapin C Eye Drop 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 Dexapin C Eye Drop treats uveitis.

You are advised to use Dexapin C Eye Drop for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, it may cause certain common side effects such as itching, irritation, and stinging sensation in the eye. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

If you have had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine, do not use Dexapin C Eye Drop without consulting a doctor. Consult your doctor before using Dexapin C Eye Drop if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is not recommended to drive or operate heavy machinery immediately after using Dexapin C Eye Drop because it may cause temporary blurring of vision.
