About Dexamethasone; Neomycin Sulfate; Polymyxin B Sulfate

Maxitrol rv81 is used to treat conditions involving swelling (inflammation) of the eyes and to treat or prevent bacterial eye infections. It contains neomycin and polymyxin, antibiotics that work by stopping the growth of bacteria. Moreover, Maxitrol Selectra also contains dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that works by reducing swelling. Maxitrol ointment generic treats/prevents only bacterial eye infections.

It will not work for other types of eye infections and may worsen them (e.g., infections caused by viruses, fungi, mycobacteria). Unnecessary use or overuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

How to use

Maxitrol rv81 is applied to the eye(s), usually 3 or 4 times a day or as directed by your doctor.

  • . Sterilize contact lenses according to the manufacturer’s directions, and check with your doctor before you begin using them again.
  • To apply the eye ointment, wash your hands first.

Treatment and dosage

If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), apply the eye drops first and wait at least 5 minutes before applying this eye ointment. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye. If you are using another type of eye ointment, wait at least 10 minutes after using this medication before applying it.

Do not use Maxitrol rv81 more often than prescribed or for longer than 10 days unless directed by your doctor.

Use Maxitrol Selectra regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. Continue to use this medication for the full time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the Maxitrol gas regulator too soon may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.

Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve in a few days.
