Dexamethasone is a strong corticosteroid. Doctors use it to calm inflammation and allergic reactions, and it appears in eye drops, oral tablets and skin preparations. It is a prescription medicine, and doctors decide carefully when and how long it is used.
Eye specialists use the drops after eye surgery and for inflamed eyes, ENT doctors use ear drops, and physicians and ortho doctors write the oral forms. Chemists near eye hospitals, general pharmacies and hospital counters stock it.
Dexamethasone Drops, Tablets and Combination Products
The listings here include eye, ear and nasal drops, tablets, creams and capsules. Combination eye drops form a large share. You will commonly see dexamethasone with:
- Moxifloxacin or ofloxacin, antibiotic and steroid eye drops
- Polymyxin B in combined antibacterial drops
- Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a lubricant base in some eye products
Selecting a Franchise Company for Steroid and Eye Products
If you plan to work with eye surgeons, look for an ophthalmic range: antibiotic drops, lubricants, anti-allergy drops and post-surgery kits. For general use, check tablets and creams alongside other ortho or derma items. Compare PTR and MRP and the margin after schemes. Get the monopoly area in writing. Eye drops have a short life after opening and need tamper-evident caps, so inspect samples. Ask about returns of near-expiry drops and the literature given for eye and ENT visits.
Third-Party Manufacturing of Dexamethasone Products
Eye and ear drops must be made in a sterile unit licensed for ophthalmic products, which narrows your choice of manufacturer. Share the composition, strength, bottle size, nozzle type and carton design. For tablets and creams, a general formulation unit can work. Ask for the MOQ for each form, sterility test records for drops and stability data in the final pack. Collect the drug manufacturing licence, product permission for the combination and a sample certificate of analysis, and confirm Schedule M compliance.
