Description

Pharmacokinetics:

Dexamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, exerts its therapeutic effects by binding to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. Following ocular administration (E. Drop), dexamethasone is rapidly absorbed into the ocular tissues and exerts its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-allergic actions locally. The onset of action is rapid, with peak concentrations achieved within minutes of installation.

Pharmacodynamics:

Dexamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. By inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response, dexamethasone effectively reduces ocular inflammation, swelling, and pain. Additionally, dexamethasone can alleviate symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and other inflammatory eye conditions.

Dexamethasone is classified as a synthetic corticosteroid and belongs to the class of anti-inflammatory agents. It is commonly used in ophthalmology to treat inflammatory and allergic conditions of the eye, including uveitis, conjunctivitis, and keratitis.
