How it Works

Maxidex contains dexamethasone, a corticosteroid that works by suppressing the inflammatory response in the eye. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, reducing swelling, redness, and discomfort associated with various ocular conditions.

Dosage

The dosage varies depending on the condition being treated. Typically, 1-2 drops are instilled into the affected eye(s) every 4 to 6 hours, or as directed by your eye care professional. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, possible side effects may include:

• Temporary stinging or burning upon application
• Blurred vision
• Increased intraocular pressure (with prolonged use)
• Delayed wound healing
• Increased risk of eye infections (with prolonged use)

Warning

• Long-term use may increase the risk of cataracts and glaucoma
• Not recommended for use in viral or fungal eye infections without appropriate anti-infective coverage
• Use with caution in patients with a history of herpes simplex keratitis

Important Information

Maxidex is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of an eye care professional. Do not use for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use of corticosteroid eye drops can lead to serious side effects. If you experience vision changes, severe eye pain, or signs of infection, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. Shake the bottle well before each use.
