Exid D Eye Drop is a medicine used to treat eye infections with inflammation, killing and preventing the growth of infection-causing bacteria, relieving inflammatory symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling, and speeding up the healing process. Exid D Eye Drop is to be used only in the affected eye. Read the label carefully for instruction before you use the medicine. Use it in the exact dose and duration as advised by the doctor or as instructed in the label. Wash your hands before using this medicine. Complete your dose even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may bring back the infection. Use of this medicine may cause irritation and discomfort immediately after instilling the eye drop. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. However, if they persist or get worse, inform your doctor. In case of accidental contact with your ears, nose, or mouth, immediately rinse it with water. Inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in this medicine or if you are taking any other medication. It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery immediately after using this medicine as it may cause temporary blurring of vision and may affect your ability to drive.
Exid D Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Ciprofloxacin and Dexamethasone. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic which prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. This treats your eye infection. Dexamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy.
Is Exid D Eye Drop safe to use?
Yes, Exid D Eye Drop is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it may cause some common side effects such as eye irritation, discomfort, and rare or uncommon side effects. If you experience any persistent problems, consult your doctor.
What precautions should I take while using Exid D Eye Drop?
Before using Exid D Eye Drop, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any allergies you may have, including allergies to ciprofloxacin or other quinolones. Also, be aware that this product may contain inactive ingredients, such as preservatives, which can cause allergic reactions or other issues.
Can Exid D Eye Drop cause dizziness?
Yes, Exid D Eye Drop may cause dizziness, characterized by feelings of faintness, weakness, unsteadiness, or lightheadedness. If you experience dizziness, it is recommended to rest for a while and resume use once you feel better.
How long should I wait before putting in other eye drops?
When using multiple eye drops or different types of eye drops, wait for at least five minutes before applying the next drop. This allows the first drop to be fully absorbed into the eye.
How long does Exid D Eye Drop take to work?
Exid D Eye Drop typically starts working soon after application. However, it may take several days for the medication to fully eliminate harmful bacteria and provide relief.
