Safely Buy Maxitrol Eye Suspension ( Dexamethasone/Neomycin/Polymyxin ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Maxitrol Eye Suspension is a medication used to treat conditions involving inflammation and bacterial infections of the eyes.

Maxitrol Eye Suspension contains three active ingredients: neomycin and polymyxin (antibiotics that work by stopping the growth of bacteria) and dexamethasone (an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that reduces swelling).

Use and Dosage

This medication is applied to the eye(s) as directed by your doctor. To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. Shake the bottle well before each dose.

Do not wear contact lenses while you are using this medicine. Sterilize contact lenses according to the manufacturer’s directions and check with your doctor before you begin using them again.

Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than 1 drop and your other eye if so directed. Repeat as often as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.

If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.

Do not use this medication more often than prescribed or for longer than 10 days unless directed by your doctor.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue to use this medication for the full-time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.

Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve in a few days.
