Dexoren*-S Eye/Ear Drops are instilled topically.

Dexoren*-S Eye/Ear Drops comprises three active ingredients:

• Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate (0.1%): This ingredient is a powerful corticosteroid that manages inflammation by blocking the movement of certain white blood cells called polymorphonuclear leukocytes and decreasing the permeability of blood vessels (making them less leaky). This action reduces swelling, redness, and discomfort.

• Chloramphenicol (0.5%): As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, chloramphenicol works by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins in bacteria. It attaches itself to a part of the bacterial cell known as the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing these cells from producing proteins vital for their growth and reproduction.

• Phenylmercuric Nitrate (0.001%): This component acts as an antimicrobial preservative which ensures that the eye/ear drop solution remains free from bacterial contamination.

• Store Dexoren*-S Eye/Ear Drops in a cool and dark place at room temperature, ideally between 15 to 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and damp areas like the bathroom; moisture can affect the medicine.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• If you are managing eye or ear infections with Dexoren*-S Eye/Ear Drops, consider increasing your intake of foods rich in Vitamin C. This vitamin boosts your immune system and helps fight off infections quicker. Citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and spinach are good sources.

• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or dirty water bodies while dealing with an ear infection to prevent worsening the condition. Chlorine can irritate your ears further, and dirty water can introduce new bacteria into your already infected ear.
