Mydosone (2.5/100Mg/Ml) 5Ml Eye Suspension (Sulphacetamide, Prednisolone) – Remington Pharmaceutical Industries

Sulphacetamide + Prednisolone Eye Drops are a combination ophthalmic medication used to treat bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation. Sulphacetamide is a sulfonamide antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the production of folic acid required for bacterial survival. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort in the affected eye. Together, they effectively eliminate bacterial infections while providing fast relief from inflammatory symptoms, promoting quicker healing and improved eye comfort.

Reducing eye redness, swelling, irritation, and inflammation.

How It Works

Sulphacetamide works by preventing bacteria from producing folic acid, an essential nutrient required for their growth and multiplication. Prednisolone reduces inflammation by suppressing the release of inflammatory substances, helping relieve redness, swelling, itching, and pain. This dual-action formula treats infection while reducing inflammation for faster recovery.
