DESCRIPTION
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate ophthalmic solution is a clear,
colorless to pale yellow topical
steroid solution for ophthalmic or otic administration.
Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids, both naturally occurring
and synthetic. Dexamethasone is a
synthetic analog of naturally occurring glucocorticoids
(hydrocortisone and cortisone). Dexamethasone
sodium phosphate is a water soluble, inorganic ester of dexamethasone.
It is approximately three
thousand times more soluble in water at 25°C than hydrocortisone.
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate is 9-fluoro-11 β,
17-dihydroxy-16α-methyl-21-
(phosphonooxy)pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione disodium salt and has the
following structural formula:
EACH ML CONTAINS: ACTIVE:dexamethasone sodium phosphate equivalent to
1mg (0.1%) dexamethasone
phosphate. PRESERVATIVE:benzalkonium chloride 0.01%.
INACTIVES:monobasic sodium phosphate,
sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate, edetate disodium, monobasic
sodium phosphate and/or
dibasic sodium phosphate to adjust pH (6.6 to 7.8) and water for
injection.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
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.
