Maxidrol (Neomycin Sulfate, Polymyxin B Sulfate, Dexamethasone)

Dexamethasone acts as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, suppressing inflammatory pathways in the eye. Neomycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding the 30S ribosomal subunit, while polymyxin B disrupts bacterial cell‑membrane integrity, leading to cell death. Together they provide anti‑inflammatory and broad‑spectrum antibacterial effects.

The dosing regimen for Maxidrol is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, severity of the condition, and patient factors. The prescriber will provide detailed instructions on the number of drops, frequency, and duration of therapy.

Safety data for Maxidrol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this medication.

To order Maxidrol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials. The team will then respond with pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Compared with single‑agent eye drops, Maxidrol offers both anti‑inflammatory and antibacterial activity in one formulation, reducing the need for multiple products. Alternatives may include separate corticosteroid and antibiotic drops, which can increase treatment complexity and cost.

Maxidrol should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from light and moisture, and discard any solution that appears discolored or contains particles.

Maxidrol is applied topically to the eye as directed by a healthcare professional. Typically, one or more drops are placed in the affected eye(s) at the prescribed frequency, avoiding contact with the tip of the bottle to maintain sterility.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, corneal ulceration, secondary ocular infections, cataract formation, and significant increases in intra‑ocular pressure that may lead to glaucoma. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience vision changes, severe pain, or signs of infection.

Maxidrol should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to dexamethasone, neomycin, polymyxin B, or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with viral eye infections such as herpes simplex keratitis, as corticosteroids may worsen the condition.
