Fluorometholone + Gentamicin
Fluorometholone + Gentamicin is a combination medication containing the corticosteroid fluorometholone and the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin. Fluorometholone works by reducing inflammation in the eye, while gentamicin works by preventing the growth and replication of bacteria.
Fluorometholone + Gentamicin (ophthalmic) is indicated for the treatment of steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions where bacterial infection or a risk of bacterial infection exists. These conditions may include conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, iritis, and uveitis.
The dosage and administration of Fluorometholone + Gentamicin vary depending on the age and condition of the patient. It is usually recommended to apply one or two drops into the affected eye(s) every four to six hours. The dosage may be adjusted by the physician based on the severity of the condition and the patient's response to treatment.
