Switch language Iconবাংলা

Introduction

Dexan belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It is used in the treatment of eye infections. It reduces the redness and swelling caused by infections, allergies, and injuries. It is sometime used after eye surgery. Never use Dexan if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. You should not discontinue using the medicine unless your doctor tells you so. Stopping the medication before time may allow the bacteria to continue their growth, which may result in return of the infection. It may cause eye irritation, blurred vision, and bitter taste in the mouth. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve with time. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive or operate other machines until your vision is clear. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult with your doctor before using this medicine.
