• The initial prescription and renewal of the medication order beyond 20 mL of Dexamethasone + Neomycin + Polymyxin should be made by a physician only after a thorough examination of the patient using magnification, such as slit lamp bio-microscopy and, if necessary, fluorescein staining.
• If the patient's signs and symptoms do not improve after two days, he or she should be reevaluated.
• Because fungal infections of the cornea are more likely to develop concurrently with long-term corticosteroid use, fungal invasion should be suspected in any persistent corneal ulceration where a corticosteroid has been used or is being used.
• When necessary, fungal cultures should be obtained.
• IOP should be monitored if this product is used for more than 10 days.
• Prolonged use of topical anti-bacterial agents may give rise to overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms including fungi.
