Associated toxic epithelial keratitis should respond to blepharitis treatment. Topical steroids are generally not required imless the cornea is significantly involved or a phlyctenule is present. In this case prednisolone 0.12% used two or three times a day for a few days may be used. Combination steroid-antibiotic ointments, such as tobramycin-dexamethasone or the topical combination drop tobramycin-loteprednol, may prove to be useful for those patients complaining of excessive itching and burning. Steroids control the hypersensitivity component that is often present and reduce the congestion and irritation that often provoke the patient to rub the eye and aggravate the blepharitis. [Pg.384]

Although topical antibiotics are used frequently in the management of ocular rosacea, no firm evidence demonstrates their efficacy as a sole therapeutic agent. Topical steroids, however, are effective for treating the inflammatory aspects and frequently are used four times daily in conjimction with antibiotics in combination products such asTobraDex (tobramycin-dexamethasone), Pred-G (gentamicin-prednisone), or Maxitrol (neomycin-polymyxin B-dexamethasone). Because of potential steroid-induced side effects, chronic use of these agents should be avoided. [Pg.464]

In ophthalmology, both trans-scleral and transcomeal dmg delivery has been studied. Drags investigated include fluorescein, tobramycin, gentamicin, ticarcillin, cefazolin, dexamethasone and ketoconazole. Iontophoresis has been found to be both safe and effective in delivering the required doses locally, at the intended site of action. Excepting for lidocaine, which has been tested in human volunteers, all the other drags have been tested in rabbits. [Pg.317]

Dexamethasone is a steroid antibiotic combination. Tobramycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, causing death dexamethasone suppresses the inflammatory response. The combination is indicated in superficial bacterial ocular infection or risk of bacterial ocnlar infection inflammatory conditions of palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segments of globe where inherent risk of steroid use in certain infective conjunctivitis is accepted to obtain a diminution of edema and inflammation chronic anterior uveitis and comeal injury from chemical, radiation, or thermal bums, or penetration of foreign bodies, where risk of superficial ocular infection is high, or an expectation, or when potentially dangerous numbers of bacteria will be present in the eye.
