Amgydex Eye Ointment is a medication used to treat eye infections and inflammation. It contains the active ingredient "Dexamethasone," which is a type of corticosteroid that helps to reduce swelling and inflammation in the eye.
Amgydex Eye Ointment is typically applied to the affected eye one or two times a day, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly before applying the ointment and to avoid touching the tip of the tube to prevent contamination.
Dexamethasone, the active ingredient in Amgydex Eye Ointment, may cause side effects, such as blurred vision, burning or stinging in the eye, or increased pressure inside the eye. It may also increase the risk of developing cataracts and glaucoma if used for prolonged periods.
It is important to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are taking before using Amgydex Eye Ointment, as it may interact with certain medications, such as other corticosteroids, antibiotics, and antifungal medications.
If you experience any severe or persistent side effects or if your symptoms do not improve after a few days of using Amgydex Eye Ointment, contact your doctor immediately.
