Neodecadron Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Neomycin and Dexamethasone
Neodecadron Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Neomycin and Dexamethasone
SIDE EFFECTS
Adverse reactions have occurred with corticosteroid/anti-infective combination
drugs which can be attributed to the corticosteroid component, the anti-infective
component, the combination, or any other component of the product. Exact incidence
figures are not available since no denominator of treated patients is available.
Reactions occurring most often from the presence of the anti-infective ingredient
are allergic sensitizations. The reactions due to the corticosteroid component
in decreasing order of frequency are: elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP)
with possible development of glaucoma, and infrequent optic nerve damage; posterior
subcapsular cataract formation; and delayed wound healing.
Secondary Infection: The development of secondary infection
has occurred after use of combinations containing corticosteroids and antimicrobials.
Fungal and viral infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop
coincidentally with long-term applications of a corticosteroid. The possibility
of fungal invasion must be considered in any persistent corneal ulceration where
corticosteroid treatment has been used.
