GENERIC: Chloramphenicol + Dexamethasone

MANUFACTURER: Remington

QUANTITY

1 tube (eye ointment)

INDICATION

Methachlor Ointment is a combination ophthalmic ointment indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye accompanied by inflammation. It is prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, and other superficial ocular infections where both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action is required. The ointment formulation provides prolonged contact time with the ocular surface, making it particularly useful for nighttime application.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding reversibly to the 50S ribosomal subunit at the peptidyl transferase center. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as some anaerobes. Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and reducing prostaglandin, leukotriene, and cytokine production.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

·        Apply a small ribbon (approximately 1cm) into the lower conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) 3 to 4 times daily

·        For nighttime use: apply once at bedtime as a supplement to daytime eye drops

·        Treatment duration is typically 7 to 10 days; do not exceed 14 days without ophthalmologist review

·        Wash hands thoroughly before application

·        Gently close the eye and roll the eyeball to distribute the ointment

·        Vision may be temporarily blurred after application

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

·        Temporary blurred vision after application

·        Mild burning or stinging upon application

·        Eyelid irritation and mild itching

Less common:

·        Increased intraocular pressure with prolonged corticosteroid use

·        Posterior subcapsular cataract with extended therapy

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

·        Known hypersensitivity to chloramphenicol, dexamethasone, or any component

·        Patients with a history of aplastic anemia or bone marrow depression

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Chloramphenicol may inhibit hepatic CYP enzymes and increase effects of warfarin, phenytoin, and sulfonylureas when absorbed systemically, though topical absorption is minimal. Concurrent use with other corticosteroid eye preparations may increase the risk of elevated intraocular pressure.
