Remarks |
Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate + Neomycin Sulphate
Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate + Neomycin Sulphate is a combination medication used as a topical ear, eye and nasal drops to treat bacterial infections.
- Eye: Non-Infected steroid responsive Inflammatory Conditions e.g. Uveitis., Marginal keratitis, Allergic conjunctivitis, Blepharitis, Episcleritis. Where prophylaxis against secondary bacterial infection is desired.
- Ear: Otitis externa and other steroid responsive inflammatory conditions where bacterial infection is present or suspected.
- Nose: Steroid responsive inflammatory conditions where infection is present or suspected.
- Eye: 1 or 2 drops instilled into the eye every one or two hours until signs of improvement are apparent, then the frequency may be reduced.
- Ear: 2 or 3 drops instilled into the ear every two or three hours until signs of improvement are apparent, then the frequency can be reduced.
- Nose: 2 or 3 drops instilled into each nostril two or three times daily.
- Eye drops containing corticosteroids cause a serious rise in intra-ocular pressure in a small percentage of the population, including most of those with a family history of glaucoma.
- A milder rise may be experienced by a larger proportion of subjects if treatment is continued for longer than a few weeks.
- Thinning of the cornea leading to perforation has occurred with use of topical corticosteroids.
- Acute sensitization to neomycin is a rare event.
- Cataract is reported to have occurred after unduly prolonged treatment of eye conditions with topical corticosteroids.
- Excessive and prolonged intranasal usage above the recommended dose may induce systemic side-effects.
- Steroids should not be administered to 'red' eyes until a definitive diagnosis is made.
- Treatment with steroid preparations should not be repeated or prolonged without regular review to exclude rised intra-ocular pressure or unsuspected infections.
- The unnecessary topical use of neomycin containing products should be avoided in order to minimize occurrence of neomycin resistant organisms (and organisms cross-resistant to other amino glycosides).
