Dexalev Eye Drop 0.1% + 0.5% is a combination ophthalmic preparation containing Dexamethasone and Levofloxacin. It is used to treat bacterial eye infections accompanied by inflammation, helping to eliminate infection while relieving redness, swelling, pain, and irritation.
Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that effectively kills susceptible bacteria responsible for eye infections. Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, minimizing discomfort and preventing tissue damage. Together, these two active ingredients provide comprehensive treatment for steroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions where bacterial infection is present or there is a significant risk of infection. Dexalev Eye Drop should be used only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.
