1. What SEVENDOC is and what it is used for
What type of medicine it is and how it works
SEVENDOC is an eye drop, solution containing levofloxacin and dexamethasone.
Levofloxacin is an antibiotic belonging to the class of fluoroquinolones (also called, for
brevity, quinolones). This antibiotic works by killing certain types of bacteria that can cause
infections.
Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that exerts an anti-inflammatory action (stops symptoms such as
pain, heat, swelling and redness).
What this medicine is used for
SEVENDOC is used to prevent and treat inflammation and to prevent possible infections
of the eye after cataract surgery.
2. What you need to know before using SEVENDOC
Do not use SEVENDOC:
- if you are allergic to levofloxacin (or other quinolones) or to desamethasone (or other corticosteroids) or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you have an eye infection that you are not treating with medicines, including viral infections (e.g. herpes simplex, keratitis or varicella), infections caused by fungi and tuberculosis of the eye. Your eye may have an infection if it has a sticky discharge or if it is red and has not been examined by a doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using SEVENDOC:
- If you are using other antibiotics, including oral antibiotics. As with other anti-infectives, prolonged use can induce antibiotic resistance and lead to excessive growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
- If you suffer from high eye pressure, or have suffered from it in the past after using a steroid medicine for the eyes. If you use SEVENDOC, this problem may recur. If you suffer from high eye pressure, inform your doctor
- If you have glaucoma
- If you have vision disorders or blurred vision
- If you are using NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) read the paragraph “Other medicines and SEVENDOC.”
- If you have disorders that cause thinning of the tissues of the eye, as prolonged treatment with steroids can cause further thinning and eventual perforation.
- If you have diabetes.
Important information if you wear contact lenses
After cataract surgery you should not wear contact lenses for the entire duration of the
therapy with SEVENDOC.
Children and adolescents
SEVENDOC is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age due to
lack of safety and efficacy data in this age group.
Other medicines andSEVENDOC
Tell your doctor or pharmacist
- if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those available without a prescription.
- if you were already using any other type of eye drops or eye ointment before using SEVENDOC (see section 3 - How to use SEVENDOC)
- if you are using NSAIDs for the eyes (used to counteract pain and inflammation), such as ketorolac, diclofenac, bromfenac and nepafenac. The simultaneous use of NSAIDs and steroids for the eyes can increase the risk of eye healing problems.
- if you are taking ritonavir or cobicistat (used in the treatment of HIV), as they may increase the level of desamethasone in the blood
- if you are taking probenecid (to treat gout), cimetidine (to treat stomach ulcers) and cyclosporine (to prevent transplant rejection), as they may alter the absorption and metabolism of levofloxacin.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding
with breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
SEVENDOC should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
After using this medicine you may experience temporary blurred vision, if this
happens do not drive or operate machinery until the problem disappears.
SEVENDOC contains phosphate buffer
This medicine contains 4.01 mg of phosphates per ml, corresponding to 0.12 mg per drop. If you have a
severe damage to the outermost transparent layer of the eye (the cornea), phosphates may cause, in rare
cases, opaque spots on the cornea due to calcium accumulation during treatment.
Tell your doctor who may advise you on a phosphate-free treatment.
SEVENDOC contains benzalkonium chloride
This medicine contains 0.05 mg of benzalkonium chloride per ml, corresponding to 0.0015 mg per
drop.
Benzalkonium chloride can also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or
corneal disorders (the most superficial transparent layer of the eye). If you experience an
abnormal sensation in the eye, burning or pain after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
3. How to use SEVENDOC
Use this medicine following the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist exactly. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is 1 drop in the affected eye every 6 hours. The maximum dose is 4 drops
per day. The treatment cycle with SEVENDOC is usually 7 days, followed, if your doctor deems it
necessary, by another 7 days of treatment with a steroid eye drop.
Your doctor will indicate the duration of treatment.
If you are using other eye drops or ophthalmic ointments, you must wait at least 15 minutes between
each application. Ophthalmic ointments should be applied last.
Instructions for use:
If possible, ask another person to apply the drops for you. Ask this person to read the
instructions with you before application.
- 1) Wash your hands carefully (figure 1).
- 2) Open the bottle. Remove the safety ring that detaches from the cap upon first opening of thebottle.The dropper tip must not come into contact with the eye, the area around the eye, or your fingers.
- 3) Unscrew the cap of the bottle. Hold the bottle upside down, gripping it between your thumb and other fingers.
- 4) Lower the lower eyelid with a finger to form a “pocket” between the eyelid and the eye. The drop should be instilled in this area (figure 2).
- 5) Tilt your head back and bring the tip of the bottle close to the eye, then gently press the central part of the bottle until a drop falls into the eye (figure 3). Keep in mind that a few seconds may pass between pressing the bottle and the drop coming out. Do not press too hard.
- 6) After applying SEVENDOC, press with a finger on the inner corner of the eye near the nose. This will prevent the medicine from spreading throughout the body (figure 4).

If a drop does not end up in the eye, try again. Screw the cap of the bottle back on tightly immediately after use.
If you use more SEVENDOC than you should
If you have applied an excessive amount of medicine, rinse the eye with lukewarm water.
If you forget to use SEVENDOC
If you forget to use this medicine, do not worry and apply it as soon as possible. Do not
apply a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
If you stop using SEVENDOC
If you stop treatment with this medicine prematurely, inform your doctor. If you have
any doubts about the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
