1. What is DESADOC and what is it for
DESADOC is a steroid anti-inflammatory drug (also called a corticosteroid)
indicated in the treatment of eye inflammations of various kinds:
- Spring conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva of allergic origin);
- Blepharitis and allergic blepharoconjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyelid margin and conjunctiva of allergic origin);
- Allergic keratoconjunctivitis (inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva of allergic origin);
- Inflammation of the outer wall of the eye, the sclera (scleritis, episcleritis) or the uvea (uveitis).
2. What you need to know before using DESADOC
Do not use DESADOC
Do not use DESADOC if you are allergic to dexamethasone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Also do not use DESADOC in cases of: ocular hypertension, Herpes simplex, corneal viral infections in acute ulcerative phase, unless associated with specific chemotherapeutic drugs for herpes, conjunctivitis with ulcerative keratitis even in the initial stage (positive fluorescein test), tuberculosis and fungal infections of the eye, acute purulent ophthalmia, purulent conjunctivitis, purulent and herpetic blepharitis, hordeolum, corneal lesions or abrasions.
It is contraindicated in children under three years of age; it is also generally contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If the aluminum blister or containers are visibly damaged.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using DESADOC.
Pay particular attention with DESADOC:
Prolonged use of corticosteroids can cause an increase in intraocular pressure.
Ask your doctor to check your intraocular pressure if you are using corticosteroids for more than two weeks. Prolonged use over time (1 to 4 years) and high doses of corticosteroids for ophthalmic use can lead to clouding of the lens (posterior subcapsular cataract) (see section 4).
The use of corticosteroids in the presence of viral infections or in the presence of bacterial, viral or fungal conjunctivitis may worsen the disease or mask the signs of infection progression (see section 2 “Do not use DESADOC”). The use of corticosteroids is permitted in herpetic keratitis only under strict supervision of the ophthalmologist.
The use of corticosteroids in the presence of lesions delays the healing of damaged tissues, favoring the onset and spread of any infections.
In all these cases, consult your doctor before using DESADOC.
This medicine contains 0.18 mg of phosphate buffer per drop, equivalent to 3.66 mg/ml.
If you have severe damage to the outermost transparent layer of the eye (the cornea), phosphates may cause, in very rare cases, opaque spots on the cornea due to calcium accumulation during treatment.
Contact your doctor if you feel swelling and weight gain around the trunk and face, as these are usually the first manifestations of a syndrome called Cushing's syndrome.
Suppression of adrenal gland function can develop after discontinuation of prolonged or intensive treatment with DESADOC. Consult your doctor before stopping treatment on your own. These risks are particularly important in children and patients treated with a medicine called ritonavir or cobicistat.
Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
Children and adolescents
DESADOC is contraindicated in children under 3 years of age.
In children from 3 to 12 years of age, the medicine should be administered only when absolutely necessary and under the direct control of the doctor.
Other medicines and DESADOC
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other ophthalmic products or other medicines, including over-the-counter medicines..
Consult your doctor if you are using ritonavir or cobicistat, as they may increase the level of dexamethasone in the blood.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
Use during pregnancy
This medicine should be administered during pregnancy only when absolutely necessary and under the direct control of the doctor.
Use during breastfeeding
DESADOC is generally contraindicated during breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
DESADOC does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
As with any eye medicine, if you experience transient blurred vision during use, wait until your vision returns to normal before driving or operating machinery.
