DEXAPAR Dexamethasone Eye Drops contain Dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation in the eyes. These eye drops are typically used to manage a variety of eye conditions involving inflammation. Here’s a breakdown of the primary uses: 🔹 Primary Uses Treatment of Inflammatory Eye Conditions Dexamethasone is commonly used to treat eye conditions where inflammation is present, such as: Uveitis (inflammation of the uvea, which is part of the eye) Iritis (inflammation of the iris) Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) Keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) Post-Surgical Inflammation Used after eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery, to control post-operative inflammation and prevent discomfort. Allergic Conjunctivitis May be used for severe allergic reactions causing inflammation in the eye (though often replaced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or other treatments). 🔹 How It Works Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by suppressing the immune system to decrease inflammation. It inhibits the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and cytokines. ⚠️ Common Side Effects Eye irritation or stinging upon application Increased intraocular pressure (which can lead to glaucoma with long-term use) Blurred vision (temporary) Cataract formation (with prolonged use) Eye infections: Prolonged use may increase the risk of developing eye infections. 🔹 Usage Tips Dosage: Typically, 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s), 2 to 4 times a day, depending on the severity of inflammation. Application: Wash your hands before using the eye drops. Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket. Drop the medication into the pocket and close your eye gently. Blink to spread the medication evenly. If using multiple eye medications, wait about 5 minutes between applying each. Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying the drops and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them. 🔹 Precautions Glaucoma and Cataracts: Prolonged use of Dexamethasone can increase the risk of glaucoma and cataracts, especially in people with a history of these conditions. Infections: Dexamethasone may mask signs of infection. Be cautious if you have an active eye infection. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as corticosteroids may not be suitable in these situations. Long-Term Use: Prolonged or repeated use of corticosteroid eye drops requires careful monitoring by an eye care professional. 🔹 Long-Term Use Dexamethasone Eye Drops are generally not recommended for long-term use unless prescribed by a doctor because of the risk of increasing intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and other complications like cataract formation.

Eye Care

Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride & Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Solution USP (Cyclopan-D) is a combination eye drop used for specific eye conditions involving both inflammation and pupil dilation. Here's a breakdown of its uses: 🔹 Primary Uses Treatment of Uveitis (Inflammation of the Uvea) Cyclopentolate dilates the pupil, helping to alleviate pain associated with inflammation in the eye. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation. Post-Operative Inflammation and Pain Relief After eye surgeries (e.g., cataract surgery), this combination helps manage inflammation and promotes healing. Pupil Dilation for Diagnostic Purposes Used before certain eye exams or surgeries to dilate the pupil for better visibility and assessment of the eye's interior. 🔹 How It Works Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride: A muscarinic antagonist that causes pupil dilation (mydriasis) by blocking the action of acetylcholine on the muscles in the iris, which normally constrict the pupil. Dexamethasone: A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune response and inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals. Together, they reduce pain, control inflammation, and help improve vision in certain conditions by dilating the pupil and promoting healing. ⚠️ Common Side Effects Temporary blurred vision (due to pupil dilation) Stinging or burning after application Increased intraocular pressure (with prolonged use of dexamethasone) Sensitivity to light (from dilated pupil) Dryness or irritation in the eye 🔹 Usage Instructions Frequency: Follow your doctor's prescribed schedule, typically 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times a day (especially for inflammation). For pupil dilation, it's usually a single application before the procedure or exam. Application Tips: Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket. Drop the medication into the pocket without touching the dropper to the eye. Close your eye gently and blink to spread the solution. If you have multiple eye drops to use, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications. Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before using this drop and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. 🔹 Precautions Long-term Use: Dexamethasone can increase intraocular pressure and lead to glaucoma or cataract formation with prolonged use, so it should be used cautiously. Allergic Reactions: Inform your doctor if you're allergic to steroids, anticholinergic drugs, or any ingredients in this eye drop. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult with a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Steroid/Hormones Medicines

Description: Oxandrolone, often known as Anarix, is an anabolic steroid medicine that is commonly used to help people regain weight lost due to certain medical problems, to ease bone pain caused by bone loss (osteoporosis), to aid in the healing from severe burns, and for other purposes. The molecular formula of Oxandrolone is: C19H30O3. Uses : Treatment of Catabolic Conditions: Oxandrolone may be recommended to those who have catabolic conditions such as severe burns, trauma, surgery, or long-term corticosteroid use. It aids in tissue repair, muscular mass gain, and recuperation. Adjuvant Therapy for HIV-Associated Wasting: Oxandrolone can be used as an adjuvant therapy to enhance weight gain and muscle retention in the treatment of HIV-associated wasting syndrome. Mechanism of action: Oxandrolone is an anabolic steroid, which means it promotes anabolism, or the formation of tissues. It works by enhancing protein synthesis in the body and stimulating muscular tissue growth. It also has a modest androgenic effect, which implies it has the potential to influence secondary sexual traits. Side Effects: Liver toxicity: Long-term or high-dose oxandrolone use can result in liver damage or abnormalities. Cardiovascular effects: It may have an influence on cholesterol levels, perhaps causing an increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol and a reduction in HDL (good) cholesterol.
