About Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop

Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop is a combination of a corticosteroid and an antibiotic that is used to treat eye and ear bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria invade and multiply in the body. 

Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop contains Dexamethasone and Gentamicin. Dexamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop is for external use only. When used as eye drops, common side effects of Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop include irritation, redness, burning or a stinging sensation, and temporary blurred vision. The side effects of ear drops include mild irritation, itching, and a stinging sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Tell your doctor if you are sensitive to Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop or other medications. Please inform your doctor if you have frequent ear infections, perforated ear drum, recent eye surgery, cataracts, glaucoma, severe nearsightedness, or diabetes before using Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop. This medicine may cause temporary blurred vision when used as eye drops; hence drive only when alert. Pyricort Eye/Ear Drop should be used for children only when advised by a doctor.
