Therapeutic Indications

Stenicol Eye Drop 0.1% + 0.5% is indicated for:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis

• Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids with bacterial infection)

• Keratitis caused by susceptible bacteria

• Postoperative inflammation following eye surgery with risk of infection

• Ocular conditions with combined inflammation and bacterial infection

It is intended for short-term use under a healthcare professional’s guidance.

Mechanism of Action

Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces ocular inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators. This leads to decreased redness, swelling, pain, and itching in the affected eye.

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. This action stops bacterial growth and proliferation, helping eliminate the infection.

The combination ensures that inflammation is controlled while the underlying bacterial infection is treated effectively, preventing complications and promoting faster recovery.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: One to two drops in the affected eye(s) every 4 to 6 hours or as prescribed by an ophthalmologist.

• Administration: Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops. Close the eye gently for a few minutes to allow absorption.

• Duration: Treatment duration is determined by the doctor, depending on the severity of infection and inflammation.

• Precautions: Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
