About Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml
Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a group of medications called ‘Antibiotics and Corticosteroids’ used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort, especially in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It also decreases the risk of eye infections such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and other inflammatory conditions of the eye (cornea, iris, and connective tissue) in postoperative patients.
Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml contains Gentamicin and Dexamethasone. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that interferes with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth, which kills the bacteria by preventing its growth. Dexamethasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation and symptoms associated with infection, such as redness and irritation. It works by inhibiting the chemicals, such as prostaglandins, that cause inflammation.
Use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml are red eyes, eye pain, irritation of the eye, blurred vision, and burning 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 persistently experience any of these effects.
Do not use Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml if you are allergic to any of its contents.
