Buy Maxidex Ophthalmic Drops Online

(Dexamethasone)

The active ingredient in Maxidex is dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the eye. It decreases the release of substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and irritation. By reducing inflammation, dexamethasone eye drops help relieve symptoms such as itching, eye pain, and swelling in the cornea, sclera, and surrounding eye tissues.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Maxidex Ophthalmic Drops. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Maxidex Ophthalmic Drops:

• Shake the bottle well before each use because it is an ophthalmic suspension.

• Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Hold the dropper above the eye and place the prescribed number of drops into the pocket of the lower eyelid of the affected eye(s).
• Close your eye gently for a short time to allow the medication to spread over the eye surface. Then repeat for the other eye if directed.
• Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to the eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
• If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time for your next dose. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra medication to make up for the missed dose.
• Do not wear contact lenses while using this medication unless directed by your healthcare provider. The preservative benzalkonium chloride in the drops may be absorbed by soft contact lenses.
