Steron-T Eye Drop 0.1% + 0.3% combines Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, and Tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, to provide a dual-action ophthalmic solution. This combination is specifically designed to treat infectious and inflammatory eye conditions simultaneously. Dexamethasone reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling, while Tobramycin targets bacterial infections, preventing their progression and promoting faster healing.

Steron-T Eye Drop is ideal for patients with bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, or post-surgical eye inflammation where both infection and inflammation are present. Its topical application ensures direct effect on the affected tissues, minimizing systemic absorption and providing rapid symptom relief.

Indications

Steron-T Eye Drop 0.1% + 0.3% is indicated for:

• Bacterial eye infections such as conjunctivitis and keratitis

• Ocular inflammation associated with infections or postoperatively

• Prevention of secondary infections in inflamed or injured eyes

• Cases where simultaneous management of infection and inflammation is necessary under medical supervision

It is suitable for adults and children above the age recommended by an ophthalmologist and should always be used as directed to prevent resistance or complications.

Mechanism of Action

• Dexamethasone: A glucocorticoid that inhibits inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and cytokines, reduces immune cell infiltration, stabilizes cell membranes, and decreases redness, swelling, and irritation.

• Tobramycin: An aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing bacterial growth and promoting clearance of infection.

The combination provides rapid anti-inflammatory action while controlling bacterial proliferation, making it highly effective for conditions involving both infection and inflammation.

Dosage and Administration

• Instill 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) every 4–6 hours, or as directed by an ophthalmologist.

• Wash hands thoroughly before use and avoid contact of the dropper tip with the eye or surrounding surfaces to prevent contamination.

• Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, instill the drops, then close the eye for 1–2 minutes. Apply gentle pressure on the inner corner to reduce systemic absorption.

• Duration of use should follow the prescribing doctor’s instructions; prolonged use may increase the risk of side effects.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use cautiously in patients with glaucoma, viral eye infections (like herpes simplex), or fungal eye infections.

• Avoid contact lenses during treatment unless advised by the ophthalmologist.

• Do not use the drops for minor irritation without a proper diagnosis, as unnecessary use may cause resistance or worsen symptoms.

• Monitor for increased intraocular pressure if used for an extended period.

• Inform your healthcare provider of other medications being taken to avoid potential interactions.

Side Effects

Steron-T Eye Drop is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include:

• Temporary stinging, burning, or irritation at the time of instillation

• Mild blurred vision immediately after application

• Eye dryness or tearing

• Rare side effects: elevated intraocular pressure, secondary infections, delayed healing, or hypersensitivity reactions

Immediate medical attention is required if severe eye pain, vision changes, or allergic reactions occur.
