At a glance

Betamethasone 0.1% + Neomycin Sulphate 0.5% E/E prep is a combination preparation used for the treatment of bacterial eye or ear infections. It prevents the growth of bacteria and reduces inflammation.

Indications
  • Bacterial eye infections
  • Bacterial ear infections
  • Inflammatory eye/ear conditions
Pharmacology

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid which is effective in inflammatory conditions. Neomycin sulfate is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It is bactericidal against many bacteria.

Betamethasone controls inflammation by controlling the rate of protein synthesis, depressing the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, and reversing capillary permeability and lysosomal stabilisation. Neomycin binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis.

Dosage

Eye Drops: 1 drop every 1-2 hours until control is achieved, then frequency may be reduced.

Ear Drops: 2-3 drops every 2-3 hours until control is achieved, then frequency may be reduced.

Nose Drops: 2-3 drops in each nostril 2-3 times daily.

Eye Ointment: Apply thinly and evenly to the conjunctival sac at night (if eye drops used during day) or 3-4 times daily (if ointment used alone).
