Xepa Dextracin Eye/Ear Drop 5ml

Xepa Dextracin Eye/Ear Drop is a combination antibiotic and corticosteroid preparation, bringing together neomycin sulphate and dexamethasone phosphate, formulated for use in both the eye and the external ear. If you're using this for the first time, you're probably wondering how the dual-purpose formula works — the antibiotic component targets susceptible bacterial infections, while the corticosteroid component helps calm the accompanying inflammation, redness, and discomfort. Dosing frequency typically starts higher and is gradually reduced as your symptoms improve, so following your doctor's specific tapering schedule matters quite a bit here. Some people experience mild stinging or irritation upon application, and because this contains a steroid, it's meant for short-term, doctor-guided use rather than long-term or repeated self-treatment. It's worth having a clear conversation with your doctor about which formulation (eye vs. ear use) and dosing schedule applies to your specific condition, especially if you're pregnant, as this medication crosses the placenta.

For eye use, the typical starting dose is 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye every 1 to 2 hours, gradually reduced to 1 drop every 4 hours, then further to 1 drop 3 to 4 times daily as your symptoms improve. For ear use, the typical dose is 3 to 4 drops into the affected ear canal 2 to 3 times daily, with the dosage gradually reduced and eventually discontinued once a favourable response is seen.

• Stinging or burning sensation upon application
• Eye or ear irritation
• Temporary blurred vision (with eye use)
• Redness at the application site
• Allergic contact sensitisation to neomycin (uncommon, more likely with prolonged use)
• Increased eye pressure (uncommon, with prolonged eye use)
• Delayed wound healing (uncommon, with prolonged use)
• Allergic reactions such as swelling of the face, eyelids, or lips (rare, seek immediate medical attention)

Store the drops at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

• Follow your doctor's specific tapering schedule as your symptoms improve
• Avoid contact between the dropper tip and your eye, ear, or any other surface
• Complete the course as directed; do not stop early even if symptoms improve, to avoid recurrence
• Check the expiry date before use, and discard as directed after opening
• Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid driving if your vision is affected after application
• Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or don't improve within the expected timeframe

For eye use, tilt your head back and instil the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and your eye. For ear use, tilt your head to the side and instil the prescribed number of drops into the affected ear canal, keeping your head tilted briefly afterward to help the drops settle.

Xepa Dextracin Eye/Ear Drop generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle before use, and note that opened bottles are generally only usable for a limited period, often around 4 weeks, after first opening.

• Neomycin Sulphate 0.5% – an antibiotic effective against a range of susceptible bacteria.
• Dexamethasone Phosphate 0.1% – a corticosteroid with strong anti-inflammatory action.

• Known hypersensitivity to neomycin, dexamethasone, or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Viral, fungal, or tuberculous infections of the eye, as corticosteroids can worsen these conditions
• Perforated eardrum, given specific precautions needed for ear use in this situation
• Not recommended during pregnancy except after careful risk/benefit assessment by a doctor, given documented potential for fetal effects with certain corticosteroids
• Not intended for long-term or repeated self-treatment without medical supervision, given the corticosteroid component

As this is a topical eye and ear preparation with low systemic absorption, significant drug or food interactions are uncommon when used as directed. However, if using other eye or ear medications, it's advisable to space them apart and inform your doctor or pharmacist, to avoid combined irritation or reduced effectiveness.
