Dexa PC Eye Drop is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial eye infections. It is also used to treat steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions. Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea.
 
Dexa PC Eye Drop contains Polymyxin B, Chloramphenicol, and Dexamethasone. Polymyxin B works by damaging the bacterial cell membrane. Chloramphenicol kills the bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for survival of the bacteria. Dexamethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause swelling, itching, and redness. Together, Dexa PC Eye Drop helps in treating bacterial eye infections.
 
In some cases, Dexa PC Eye Drop may cause side effects such as a burning sensation, itchiness, irritation, and dryness. 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 the side effects persist or worsen.

Bacterial eye infections: Bacterial eye infection occurs when harmful bacteria invade any part of the eye such as the eyeball, conjunctiva, or cornea. Symptoms of an infection include red eye, pain, discharge, watery/dry eyes, swelling, itching, and sensitivity to light. The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, and keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection/inflammation of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. A stye is a bump on the eyelid or base of eyelashes. Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea. It is a common problem in people who wear contact lenses.
