Chlormet Eye Drop 0.1%+0.5% is a sterile ophthalmic formulation containing a combination of Dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, and Chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. This dual-action eye drop is designed to treat inflammatory eye conditions associated with bacterial infection or risk of infection. It helps relieve inflammation while simultaneously eliminating susceptible bacteria, making it suitable for short-term ophthalmic use under medical supervision.

Dexamethasone works by suppressing inflammatory responses such as redness, swelling, pain, and irritation in ocular tissues. Chloramphenicol acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively controlling a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria commonly responsible for eye infections. Together, these agents provide comprehensive management of infected or inflamed ocular conditions.
