Experience soothing relief and effective treatment for eye inflammation with Dropodex Eye Drops. Specifically formulated with dexamethasone phosphate, these preservative-free eye drops offer a convenient solution for various eye conditions. Comparable to Maxidex eye drops, Dropodex sets itself apart by providing a preservative-free option in a single-dose container, ensuring optimal hygiene and convenience.
Each Dropodex single-dose container contains a concentrated dose of the active ingredient, dexamethasone phosphate (as dexamethasone sodium phosphate), at a concentration of 0.1% w/v (1 mg/mL). With a sterile and precisely measured 0.4 mL of solution in each container, you can easily administer the appropriate dosage without any wastage or contamination.
Dropodex Eye Drops belong to the group of corticosteroids renowned for their ability to suppress inflammation effectively. They are specifically designed to alleviate inflammation in the front of the eye, targeting conditions such as corneal, conjunctival, and iris inflammation, along with connective tissue inflammation. Additionally, Dropodex Eye Drops can be a viable solution for hypersensitive reactions of the conjunctiva that do not respond to standard treatments. It is important to note that these eye drops are suitable for treating inflammation as long as the eye is not infected.
When prescribed by your doctor, Dropodex Eye Drops may be used in conjunction with other medications to ensure comprehensive and effective treatment for your eye condition. The versatility of Dropodex Eye Drops extends beyond humans; they can also be safely used to treat eye inflammation in cats and dogs, making them a versatile solution for your beloved pets.
Say goodbye to discomfort and inflammation, and embrace the soothing relief provided by Dropodex Eye Drops. Trust this preservative-free, single-dose solution to effectively address your eye inflammation concerns while prioritizing hygiene, convenience, and optimal treatment outcomes.

How To Use
How to use Dropodex
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
If your eye problem is severe, you may be asked to use these eye drops more frequently at first. The frequency can then be reduced as the eye gets better. More detailed instructions will be given to you by your doctor or pharmacist. Make sure you follow these instructions carefully.
The recommended dose is 1 drop in one or both eyes, 4 to 6 times a day in the affected eye. In severe cases, treatment may be started with 1 drop every hour at the start of the therapy but dosage should be reduced to 1 drop every 4 hours when a favourable response is observed. Do not stop using the treatment abruptly. Gradual tapering off is recommended in order to avoid a relapse. The duration of treatment will generally vary from a few days to a maximum of 14 days.

Side Effects
Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Most people who are treated with these eye drops do not suffer from any unwanted side effects.
Hormone conditions
Frequency not known:
• Hormone problems (Cushing’s syndrome): growth of extra body hair (particularly in women),
muscle weakness and wasting, purple stretch marks on body skin, increased blood pressure,
irregular or missing periods, changes in the levels of protein and calcium in your body, stunted
growth in children and teenagers and swelling and weight gain of the body and face (see
section 2, “Warnings and precautions”).
These hormone conditions may occur as it is possible that some of the Dropodex solution may be
absorbed into the general circulation of the body after they are put into the eye. It is unlikely, however,
that this will have any unwanted effect on the body because so little of the eye drops are absorbed
through the eye. The action of pressing on the inner part of the eye when adding the drops will also
help to reduce this absorption even further.
Eye conditions
Very common:
• High pressure in the eye after 2 weeks of using the drops (raised intraocular pressure)
Common (these side effects, which can occur after instillation of Dropodex, are usually mild and do
not last long):
• Discomfort
• Irritation
• Burning
• Itching
Uncommon:
• Signs of an allergic reaction
• Healing which takes longer than expected
• Cloudy lens (cataract)
• Infections
• High pressure in the eye (glaucoma)
• Blurred vision
Very rare:
• Inflamed surface of the eye giving red eye, tears and irritation (conjunctivitis)
• Swelling of the eyelid (eyelid oedema)
• Inflammation of the eye which causes pain and redness (uveitis)
• Settling of calcium on the surface of the eye (corneal calcification)
5
• Inflamed surface of the eye causing blurred vision, dry eyes, sensitivity to light, burning, tears
and a sandy sensation in your eye (keratitis)
• Thinning of the surface of the eye (corneal thinning)
• Swelling of the surface of the eye (corneal oedema)
• Ulcer on the surface of the eye causing pain, tears, squinting and vision loss (corneal ulceration)
• Small holes on the surface of the eye (corneal perforation)
Very rarely, patients with severe damage to the clear layer at the front of the eye (cornea) have
developed cloudy patches on the cornea due to calcium build-up during treatment.
Topical corticosteroids should not be used for longer than one week except under ophthalmic
supervision. You should consult your doctor if you become aware of any changes in your eyesight.
