Indications
Maxitrol eye suspension is a steroid medicine used to treat eye inflammation caused by conditions like uveitis, injury, radiation, chemical burns, and more. The medicine is used to treat these conditions when there is a risk of bacterial infection in or around your eye.
The eye drops combine dexamethasone, neomycin, and polymyxin to reduce inflammation and irritation while also protecting your eye from infection. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces swelling when applied to your affected eyes. Neomycin and polymyxin are both antibiotics that stop bacterial growth to treat and avoid infections. When used daily, Maxitrol eye suspension helps treat inflammatory eye conditions with bacterial infections.
Dosage and Administration
The dose of Maxitrol eye suspension that is prescribed will vary depending on the individual and severity of the eye condition being treated. Follow all your healthcare provider’s instructions and read packaging labels carefully to ensure the best therapeutic response from treatment.
