Терапевтичні свідчення:

For steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions for which a corticosteroid is indicated and where bacterial infection or risk of bacterial ocular infection exists. Ocular steroids are indicated in inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe where the inherent risk of steroid use in certain infective conjunctivitises is accepted to obtain a diminution in edema and inflammation. They are also indicated in chronic anterior uveitis and corneal injury from chemical, radiation or thermal burns; or penetration of foreign bodies. The use of a combination drug with an anti-infective component is indicated where the risk of infection is high or where there is an expectation that potentially dangerous numbers of bacteria will be present in the eye. The particular anti-infective drugs in this product is active against the following common bacterial eye pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilusinfluenzae, Klebsiella/Enterobacterspec

Corticoids suppress the inflammatory response to a variety of agents
and they probably delay or slow
healing. Since corticoids may inhibit the body's defense mechanism
against infections, a concomitant

be clinically significant in a
particular case. When a decision to administer both a corticoid and an
antimicrobial is made, the
administration of such drugs in combination has the advantage of
greater patient compliance and
convenience, with the added assurance that the appropriate dosage of
both drugs
