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. Before using Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml, inform your doctor if you are diagnosed with any fungal infections, viral infections such as herpes simplex or varicella, or parasitic infections such as amoebiasis. Do not use Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml if you have tuberculosis, damaged cornea, ulceration, open lesions with incomplete formation of the covering tissue and increased pressure inside the eye. Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml should be used in pregnant, breastfeeding, and elderly persons if suggested by the doctor.

Uses of Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml

Bacterial eye infections.

Directions for Use

Eye drops/Ophthalmic solution: Wash your hands thoroughly with water before and after use. Take the prescribed amount of dose with the dropper and squeeze out a drop without touching the eye. Wipe any excess liquid with a tissue. Do not wipe or rinse the dropper tip after use. Place the dropper back on the bottle and tighten the cap.

Medicinal Benefits

Gentamicin, in Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml, is used to treat bacterial infections like conjunctivitis (pinkeye) and blepharitis (inflammation of the oil glands in eyelids) of the eye and the skin around the eyelids. This medicine is also helpful in preventing the infection that may happen after surgery or eye injury. This medicine works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml also contains Dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness of the eye and thus helps treat inflammation of the eye. Dexamethasone is supposed to control the formation of certain chemicals that cause allergic reactions in the body.

Storage

Drug Warnings

Before using Pyricort Eye Drops 5 ml, inform your doctor if you have vision problems, severe pain in the eye, glaucoma (raised pressure in the eye), eye injury, or have undergone eye surgery or using any other eye drops or eye ointment. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice swelling or weight gain around the trunk or in the face, as it may be a sign of Cushing’s syndrome (high levels of cortisol in the body). Do not use eye drops for longer than recommended by your doctor, as they may suppress adrenal gland function, increase the risk of cataracts (clouding of the eye), and increase the risk of a secondary infection.
