Pravacet Plus Eye/Ear Drops 5ml: Relief for Eye and Ear Infections
Pravacet Plus is a highly effective, sterile combination treatment used in Nigeria to manage bacterial infections of the eyes and ears. It is specially formulated with two active ingredients—Chloramphenicol and Dexamethasone—to provide rapid relief from symptoms like redness, swelling, and discharge.
How It Works
Pravacet Plus works through a double-action formula:
- Antibiotic Protection: Chloramphenicol (0.5%) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets and stops the growth of bacteria causing the infection.
- Anti-inflammatory Relief: Dexamethasone (0.1%) is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, helping to calm the eye or ear and reduce pain or irritation quickly.
Common Uses
This medication is frequently prescribed by doctors and pharmacists for:
- Bacterial Conjunctivitis (Apollo): Treating the redness and "gritty" feeling caused by bacterial eye infections.
- Ear Infections: Managing inflammation and infection in the external ear canal (Otitis Externa).
- Eyelid Inflammation (Blepharitis): Reducing swelling and crusting around the eyelashes.
How to Use Pravacet Plus
For the best results, ensure you follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, 1-2 drops are applied to the affected eye or ear several times a day.
If you are unsure about the application or have questions about how long it takes to work, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for expert guidance. Remember to discard the bottle 28 days after first opening to maintain sterility.
