Cloradex Eye Drop is a combination ophthalmic medicine containing Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, and Chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is used for the treatment of bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation, such as redness, swelling, irritation, and discharge.

This combination helps control infection while simultaneously reducing inflammation, providing faster relief from symptoms. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and other inflammatory eye disorders where bacterial infection is present or suspected.

Cloradex Eye Drop should be used only under medical supervision, as improper or prolonged use of steroid-containing eye drops may cause complications.

Composition

How Cloradex Eye Drop Works

This combination works through dual action:

• Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by acting on the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing bacterial growth and helping eliminate infection.
• Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby decreasing redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort.

Together, they treat both infection and inflammation for effective symptomatic relief.
