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.

Timipar (Timolol Maleate 0.5%) Ophthalmic Solution is a prescription eye drop used to manage elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing the production of fluid within the eye, it helps lower IOP, thereby reducing the risk of optic nerve damage and potential vision loss. ________________________________________ ✅ Primary Uses • Open-Angle Glaucoma: A common form of glaucoma where the drainage angle in the eye remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked, leading to increased IOP. • Ocular Hypertension: A condition characterized by higher-than-normal IOP without any signs of glaucoma damage. ________________________________________ 💊 Dosage and Administration • Typical Dosage: Instill one drop of the 0.5% solution into the affected eye(s) twice daily. • Application Tips: o Wash your hands before use. o Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to prevent contamination. o If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. o After instilling the drop, gently press the corner of your eye (near the nose) for 1–2 minutes to prevent the medication from draining out. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Precautions and Contraindications • Contraindications: o Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation. o Bronchial asthma or a history of bronchial asthma. o Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). o Sinus bradycardia, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, overt cardiac failure, or cardiogenic shock. • Cautions: o Use with caution in patients with a history of heart disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, as beta-blockers can mask symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism. o Monitor for potential additive effects when used with other systemic beta-blockers. ________________________________________ 🧪 Mechanism of Action Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist (beta-blocker) that reduces aqueous humor production in the eye, leading to a decrease in IOP. Its onset of action is typically within 20 minutes, with effects lasting up to 24 hours.
