Uses of Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

Ocupol DX Eye Ointment is used in the treatment of bacterial eye infections.

Benefits of Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

In Bacterial infection
Ocupol DX treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection
Ocupol DX clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection
Ocupol DX treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection
Ocupol DX treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
In Inflammation
Ocupol DX powerfully suppresses inflammation anywhere in the body, bringing severe swelling, pain and tissue damage under control quickly.
In Allergic reactions
Ocupol DX calms a severe allergic reaction, reducing swelling, rash and breathing difficulty.
In Autoimmune conditions
Ocupol DX dampens the immune system's attack on the body's own tissues, controlling flares of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease.
In Asthma flare
Ocupol DX settles the airway inflammation of a severe asthma attack over a few days, restoring normal breathing and preventing the attack from worsening.

How Ocupol DX Eye Ointment works

Ocupol DX Eye Ointment is a combination of two antibiotics (Chloramphenicol, Polymyxin B) and a steroid (Dexamethasone). The antibiotics work by killing the bacteria or stopping their growth. Together, they treat your eye infection effectively. The steroid blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.

How to take Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the tube close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the tube and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. It can cause weight gain, high blood sugar, bone thinning and suppression of the body's own steroid production when it is taken over a prolonged period. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

Most side effects of Ocupol DX are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Eye discomfort Eye irritation Burning sensation in eye

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

Breast feedingUNSAFE
Ocupol DX Eye Ointment is probably unsafe to use during lactation. Limited human data suggest that the drug could represent a significant risk to the baby.

LiverCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better. Do not drink any alcohol while taking metronidazole, ornidazole or tinidazole, or for the period after the course that your doctor states — the combination causes severe flushing, vomiting and a racing heart. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Tetracyclines stain developing teeth and are avoided in young children and in pregnancy. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses. Never stop a course of more than a few days suddenly. Your body stops making its own steroid while you take these, and abrupt withdrawal can cause a dangerous collapse. Your doctor will taper the dose. Tell any doctor treating you that you take steroids, and say so urgently if you develop a serious infection, injury or need surgery — you may need a higher dose to cope. Steroids raise blood sugar. If you have diabetes, monitor it more closely during a course. Long-term use thins bones, raises the risk of infection, cataract and glaucoma. Your doctor will monitor and may add bone protection. Chickenpox and measles can be severe in people on steroids — seek advice promptly after any contact.

Do not take Ocupol DX if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an untreated systemic infection, except where the steroid is part of the treatment.

Interactions with other medicines

Antacids, iron, zinc and calcium reduce the absorption of tetracyclines — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner. Anti-inflammatory painkillers together with steroids markedly raise the risk of stomach bleeding. Live vaccines are generally avoided during significant steroid treatment.

How to store Ocupol DX Eye Ointment

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
