Overview Dexachlor 0.1% Eye/Ear Drops

Chlordex 0.1% ophthalmic and otic solution is a prescription medication for treating bacterial eye and ear infections. Its mechanism involves bacterial eradication and growth inhibition, alongside suppression of inflammation-inducing and itch-causing chemicals. Apply only to the affected eye or ear. Always adhere to the dosage and duration specified by your physician or the product labeling. Wash hands thoroughly prior to administration. Avoid over- or under-dosing; complete the prescribed course, regardless of symptom improvement, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Minor, transient burning, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site may occur; however, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention. Rinse with copious amounts of water if accidental contact with the nose or mouth occurs. Disclose any allergies to the medication's components or other concurrent medications.
