Dexatob Eye Drops 5ml is an ophthalmic medicine used for certain eye conditions involving inflammation and bacterial infection.

The exact active ingredients and their concentrations should be confirmed from the product packaging or manufacturer's information before making ingredient-specific claims. If Dexatob contains a corticosteroid combined with an antibiotic, the steroid helps reduce eye inflammation while the antibiotic helps control susceptible bacterial infections.

Use Dexatob only under the supervision of an eye-care professional, as steroid-containing eye drops are not suitable for every type of eye infection.

Uses

• Supports treatment of selected inflammatory eye conditions with bacterial involvement
