About TAMIGEN S EYE/EAR DROPS 5ML

TAMIGEN S EYE/EAR DROPS 5ML is used to treat eye and ear bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria invade and multiply in the body. 

TAMIGEN S EYE/EAR DROPS 5ML contains Dexamethasone and Gentamicin. Dexamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. TAMIGEN S EYE/EAR DROPS 5ML is for external use only. When used as eye drops, common side effects of TAMIGEN S EYE/EAR DROPS 5ML include irritation, redness, burning or a stinging sensation, and temporary blurred vision. The side effects of ear drops include mild irritation, itching, and a stinging sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
