Sulfacetamide-prednisolone

Drug Details

Sulfacetamide and prednisolone eye drops are used for treating inflammatory eye conditions in individuals aged 6 and above. These conditions may include eye infections or inflammation with a potential for bacterial infection. Sulfacetamide acts as a sulfa antibiotic that eliminates bacteria, while prednisolone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. Typically, the prescribed dosage is two drops in the affected eye(s) every four hours. This medication is available as a cost-effective generic option, as the brand Blephamide has been discontinued. Possible side effects include eye irritation and allergic reactions. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication.
