How it works

Maxitrol Eye Drop combines three active ingredients:

3. Neomycin sulphate: A broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets various bacteria. Together, these components work to reduce inflammation and fight bacterial infections in the eye.

Dosage

Typical dosage is 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) every 4-6 hours, or as directed by your ophthalmologist. In severe cases, dosage may be increased to 1-2 drops every hour. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding frequency and duration of use.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Temporary stinging or burning sensation
• Blurred vision
• Increased intraocular pressure (with prolonged use)
• Allergic reactions (rare) If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Prolonged use of corticosteroids may lead to glaucoma or cataracts. Do not use if you have a fungal or viral eye infection. Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma or are prone to increased intraocular pressure. This medication contains benzalkonium chloride, which may cause eye irritation and discoloration of soft contact lenses.

Interactions

Maxitrol may interact with other topical eye medications. Inform your doctor about all medications you’re using, including over-the-counter products. Allow at least 5 minutes between applications of different eye medications.

Important Information

If using contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve.
