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).

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.

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.
Product Details
What you need to know before you use Dropodex
Do not use Dropodex: – If you are allergic to dexamethasone sodium phosphate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). – In case of bacterial eye infections (such as: acute purulent bacterial infections), fungal infections, viral diseases (for example: Herpes simplex, vaccinia, varicella zoster), or amoebiasis. – In case of tuberculosis of the eye. – In cases of damaged cornea (such as: perforation of the cornea), ulceration, lesions with incomplete formation of the covering tissue. – In cases of increased intraocular pressure caused by glucocorticosteroids (these belong to the group of corticosteroids). Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor before using Dropodex: – If you have an eye infection or ulcer. 2 – If you have increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma), or are at risk of developing glaucoma. Your doctor will check for this. – If you experience swelling and weight gain around the trunk and in the face as these are usually the first manifestations of a syndrome called Cushing’s syndrome. Suppression of the adrenal gland function may develop after stopping a long-term or intensive treatment with Dropodex. Talk to your doctor before stopping the treatment by yourself. These risks are especially important in children and patients treated with a drug called ritanovir or cobicistat. – If you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances. – If you are using any other eye drops. Wearing of contact lenses during treatment with corticosteroid eye drops must be avoided. Long term, frequent use of corticosteroids can lead to the formation of cataracts (clouding of the lens in the eye). Children and adolescents Use of Dropodex in children and adolescents must be restricted. In children, continuous, long term use of corticosteroid eye drops should be avoided. Other medicines and Dropodex Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines, including medicines obtained without prescription. If you are already using eye drops to treat glaucoma it is possible that the dose may need to be adjusted if you are prescribed Dropodex. Tell your doctor if you are using ritanovir or cobicistat as this may increase the amount of dexamethasone in the blood. If you are using more than one sort of eye drops leave five minutes between applications. Eye ointments should be applied last. Pregnancy and breast-feeding If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. There is insufficient information available to determine the potential harmful effects on pregnancy. Dropodex should not be used during pregnancy and breast-feeding unless considered appropriate by your doctor. Driving and using machines Your eyesight may become blurred for a short time following the use of Dropodex. You must not drive or operate hazardous machinery until your eyesight has returned to normal.
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.
