Dexamethasone sodium phosphate suppresses the inflammatory response to
a variety of agents and it
probably delays or slows healing. No generally accepted explanation of
these steroid properties has
been advanced.
INDCIATIONS AND USAGE
Steroid responsive inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar
conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior
segment of the globe. These include allergic conjunctivitis, acne
rosacea, superficial punctate keratits,
herpes zoster keratitis, iritis, cyclitis, selected infective
conjunctivities when the inherent hazard of
steroid use is accepted to obtain an advisable diminution in edema and
inflammation; corneal injury from
chemical or thermal burns, or penetration of foreign bodies.
CONTRAININDICATIONS
Contraindicated in epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic
keratitis); fungal diseases of ocular
structures; acute infectious stages of vaccinia, varicella and many
other viral disease of the cornea and
conjunctiva; mycobacterial infection of the eye and in those persons
who have shown hypersensitivity to
any component of this preparation.

Prolonged use may result in ocular hypertension and/or glaucoma, with
damage to the optic nerve,
defects in visual acuity and fields of vision, and posterior
subcapsular cataract formation. Prolonged
use may suppress the host response an thus increase the hazard of
secondary ocular infections. In those
diseases causing thinning of the cornea o
