Product Information of Maxidex Eye Drops
BEFORE YOU USE MAXIDEX
Do not use MAXIDEX…
- If you think that you have any type of infection, including viral, fungal, untreated parasitic eye infections and tuberculosis of the eye. • If you are allergic to dexamethasone or any of the other ingredients listed in section 6. If any of these apply, ask your doctor for advice. Take special care… • Only use MAXIDEX in your eye(s). MAXIDEX should be used with caution in children under 2 years of age. • MAXIDEX should not be used for more than one week, unless advised by your doctor. Use of MAXIDEX for long periods of time, may cause: o Increased pressure in your eye(s). If you already have high pressure in your eye(s) or an eye disease such as glaucoma. You should have your eye pressure checked regularly while using MAXIDEX. Ask your doctor for advice. This is especially important in paediatric patients, as the risk of corticosteroid-induced increased pressure in the eye may be greater in children and may occur earlier than in adults. The risk of increase in eye pressure and/or cataract formation is higher in susceptible patients (e.g. patients with diabetes) using steroids. o The development of Cataracts. You should see your doctor regularly if using on a long term basis. 2 • Use of steroids may make eye infections worse and delay healing of an eye wound. If you have an infection, your doctor will prescribe another medicine to treat it. Topical NSAIDs (NonSteroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs-Medications) are also known to slow or delay healing. Simultaneous use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids may increase the potential for healing problems. • If you have a disorder causing a thinning of the eye tissues. Steroids may cause further thinning and possible perforation. • Talk to your doctor if you experience swelling and weight gain around the trunk and in the face as these are usually the first manifestations of a syndrome called Cushing’s syndrome. Suppression of the adrenal gland function may develop after stopping a long-term or intensive treatment with MAXIDEX. Talk to your doctor before stopping the treatment by yourself. These risks are especially important in children and patients treated with a drug called ritonavir or cobicistat. • Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances. • Talk to your doctor before using MAXIDEX if you have diabetes or have a family history of diabetes If any of these apply, you may still be able to use MAXIDEX, but discuss it with your doctor first. Pregnancy and breast-feeding If you are pregnant or might get pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding a baby, talk to your doctor before you use MAXIDEX. MAXIDEX should not be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding. Driving and using machines MAXIDEX may cause your vision to be blurred for some time after use. Do not drive or use any machines unless your vision is clear. Using other medicines Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Tell your doctor if you are using topical NSAIDs. Simultaneous use of topical steroids and topical NSAIDs may increase healing problems in your eye. Tell your doctor if you are using ritonavir or cobicistat, as this may increase the amount of dexamethasone in the blood. Tell your doctor if you are diabetic and you are taking, having recently taken or might take medicines for treatment of diabetes such as insulin, metformin or sulfonylureas such as chlorpropamide, as MAXIDEX may decrease the blood glucose lowering effect of these medicines. If you are using more than one type of eye medicine, the medicines must be used at least 5 minutes apart. Eye ointments should be used last. Important information if you wear Contact Lenses Wearing contact lenses is not recommended while your eye is inflamed. If you continue to wear your lenses, remove them before using MAXIDEX and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in. There is a preservative in MAXIDEX (benzalkonium chloride) that may cause eye irritation and is also known to discolour soft contact lenses.
