Composition

• Dexamethasone 0.1% – a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and irritation.

• Tobramycin 0.3% – an aminoglycoside antibiotic that fights a wide spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Mechanism of Action

Dexamethasone works by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators and decreases immune activity in the affected tissues, reducing redness, swelling, and pain.

Tobramycin binds to bacterial ribosomes and interferes with protein synthesis, effectively killing or inhibiting bacterial growth. This dual action ensures that while inflammation is controlled, bacterial infections are treated simultaneously, preventing complications that can affect vision.

Indications

Texa Eye Drop 0.1%+0.3% is indicated for:

• Bacterial conjunctivitis with inflammation

• Keratitis or corneal infections with inflammatory response

• Post-operative eye inflammation and prophylaxis against bacterial infection

• Other ocular inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infection, as prescribed by an ophthalmologist

It is important that the use of this combination be guided by a healthcare professional to ensure appropriate treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.

Dosage and Administration

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

• Shake the bottle gently before use.

• Wash hands before and after application to prevent contamination.

• Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the eye or eyelids.

Benefits

• Provides fast relief from ocular inflammation

Precautions

• Not recommended in patients with viral eye infections (e.g., herpes simplex keratitis), fungal eye infections, or known hypersensitivity to corticosteroids or aminoglycosides.

• Use cautiously in patients with glaucoma, as prolonged steroid use may increase intraocular pressure.

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

• Do not self-medicate; prolonged or improper use may lead to delayed healing or secondary infections.
