Inflammation can occur in any part of the eye itself, as well as in the periorbital area. Infectious lesions caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi. Traumatic processes result from penetration foreign object, for example, sand. Chemical substances can also cause inflammation.

Ophthalmic diseases manifest themselves in the form of redness, itching, tearing, painful sensations, photophobia, dryness, swelling. When alarming symptoms Urgent measures must be taken to prevent the disease from becoming more complicated, otherwise it may lead to loss of vision. In this case, Oftan Dexamethasone eye drops can come to the rescue. The next article will be devoted to the instructions for use of this drug.

What it is?

Oftan Dexamethasone eye drops are ophthalmic agent, which has anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects. Medicinal substance belongs to the group of glucocorticosteroids.

The active ingredient is dexamethasone. Active substance The drug interacts with protein receptors that are located in target tissues. It prevents the membranes of leukocytes from being destroyed, and also reduces migration and cell division.

The active component contributes to impaired recognition immune system antigens. All this leads to the suppression of inflammation that occurs in response to mechanical, chemical and immune irritation.

IMPORTANT! After instilling one drop of the drug, the anti-inflammatory effect persists for four to eight hours.

What is it prescribed for?

Eye drops are prescribed for acute and chronic inflammatory processes, namely:

uveitis, iritis, iridocyclitis;
blepharitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis;
scleritis, episcleritis;
Choroiditis.

Oftan Dexamethasone can also be used for allergic diseases eye. The product is used for both therapeutic and preventive purposes. It prevents the occurrence inflammatory reaction after surgery and mechanical trauma.

Instructions for use

Using a mirror will help you control your movements and avoid injuries. If there is a need to instill other eye drops, maintain a fifteen-minute interval. Contact lenses must be removed before the procedure. They can be put on again no earlier than twenty minutes after installation.

Do not think that the result will be stronger if you increase the dosage of eye drops yourself. The conjunctival sac still cannot accommodate large quantity medicinal solution. These actions can cause overdose symptoms.

Precautionary measures

Eye drops are contraindicated in the following cases:

eye tuberculosis;
fungal or viral infection;
infections caused by mycobacteria;
glaucoma – increased intraocular pressure;
exacerbation of purulent ophthalmological diseases;
corneal damage.

Oftan Dexamethasone is also not prescribed to children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers. If the doctor decides to treat with the drug during pregnancy, the duration of use of the solution should not exceed ten days. Individual hypersensitivity to active ingredient is also a limitation on the use of eye drops.

Hypertension of the visual organs is fraught with dysfunction optic nerve, up to its damage, deterioration of visual acuity, narrowing of peripheral vision. This creates everything ideal conditions for the development of glaucoma – dangerous disease, which can cause blindness. Also provided long-term treatment There are risks of cataracts, scleral perforation and corneal ulceration.

CAREFULLY! The simultaneous use of Oftan-Dexamethasone with mydriatics (drugs that dilate the pupil) can lead to an increase in intraocular pressure.

As auxiliary components The solution contains the preservative benzalkonium chloride. It can cause discoloration of contact lenses.

Treatment with corticosteroid drugs may blur the picture of a bacterial or fungal infection. If a concomitant pathology has been diagnosed, other drops with antimicrobial activity are prescribed along with Oftan Dexamethasone.

pharmachologic effect
Pharmacodynamics
Synthetic fluorinated glucocorticosteroid. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effect.

By interacting with a specific protein receptor in target tissues, it regulates the expression of corticoid-dependent genes and thus affects protein synthesis. Stabilizes lysosomal enzymes of leukocyte membranes; inhibits the synthesis of kinins, mitosis and migration of leukocytes; suppresses antibody synthesis and disrupts antigen recognition. All of these effects are involved in suppressing the inflammatory response in tissues in response to mechanical, chemical or immune damage. The duration of the anti-inflammatory effect after instillation of 1 drop of solution is from 4 to 8 hours.

Pharmacokinetics
When applied topically, systemic absorption is low. After instillation into the conjunctival sac, it penetrates well into the corneal epithelium and conjunctiva; while in aqueous humor eyes therapeutic concentrations are achieved; with inflammation or damage to the mucous membrane, the penetration rate increases. About 60-70% of dexamethasone entering the systemic blood flow, binds to plasma proteins. Metabolized in the liver under the influence of cytochrome P450 containing enzymes (CYP3A4); metabolites are excreted through the intestines. The plasma half-life (t1/2) averages 3.6 ± 0.9 hours.

Indications for use
Acute and chronic inflammatory processes:

Non-purulent forms of conjunctivitis, keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis without damage to the epithelium and blepharitis;
- scleritis and episcleritis;
- iritis, iridocyclitis and other uveitis of various origins;
- superficial damage to the cornea of various etiologies (chemical, physical or immune mechanisms) after complete epithelization of the cornea;
- inflammation of the posterior segment of the eye (choroiditis, chorioretinitis);
- sympathetic ophthalmia.

Allergic eye diseases:

Allergic conjunctivitis or keratoconjunctivitis.

Prevention and treatment of inflammatory phenomena in the postoperative and post-traumatic period.

Contraindications

Keratitis associated with herpes simplex, chickenpox and others viral diseases cornea and conjunctiva;
- eye tuberculosis;
- mycobacterial eye infections;

- corneal epitheliopathy;
- increased intraocular pressure;
- glaucoma;
- childhood up to 18 years of age (due to the lack of data on the effectiveness and safety of the drug in children and adolescents under 18 years of age);
- hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug.

Overdose
Overdose with topical use of Oftan® Dexamethasone eye drops is unlikely.
Symptoms: local irritation possible.
There is no specific antidote. The drug should be discontinued and symptomatic therapy prescribed.

Interaction with other drugs
Interaction with other drugs is mainly due to the participation of cytochrome P450 containing enzymes (CYP3A4) in the elimination of dexamethasone. It induces the enzyme CYP3A4, thus reducing the effectiveness of blockers calcium channels, quinidine and erythromycin. With the usual regimen of topical administration, the dose of the drug is insufficient to cause induction or saturation of liver enzymes.
With long-term use with iodoxuridine, it is possible to intensify destructive processes in the epithelium of the cornea.

special instructions
Oftan® Dexamethasone contains the preservative benzalkyl chloride, which can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and cause discoloration and adverse effects on eye tissue.
