Cloradex Eye Drop is a combination ophthalmic preparation containing Dexamethasone (0.1%), a corticosteroid, and Chloramphenicol (0.5%), a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is used for the treatment of bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation.

Chloramphenicol works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping to eliminate infection-causing organisms. Dexamethasone reduces inflammation, redness, swelling, and irritation in the eye. This combination provides both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it effective in mixed infectious-inflammatory ocular conditions.

Cloradex Eye Drop is commonly used under medical supervision for conditions where infection and inflammation occur together.
