1. WHAT DEXAMONO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DEXAMONO is an ophthalmic solution in single-dose containers that contains a substance
called dexamethasone. This substance is a corticosteroid that inhibits inflammatory
symptoms.

- If you have an eye infectionsuch as bacterial infections (including acute purulent infections), fungal infections, viral infections (e.g. Herpes simplex, vaccinia virus, varicella-zoster) or amoebic infections,
- in the presence of corneal damage(perforation, ulceration and corneal injury with incomplete epithelialization),
- in the presence of recognized ocular hypertensioninduced by glucocorticoids (a family of corticosteroids),
- if you are allergic(hypersensitive) to desamethasone sodium phosphateor to any of the excipients of DEXAMONO.
Warnings and precautions

DO NOT INJECT, DO NOT INGEST.
Avoid contact between the container tip and the eye or eyelids.

concomitant topical therapy with steroids and beta-blockers.

take any other medicine.

- There are insufficient data on the use of DEXAMONO during pregnancy to assess possible harmful effects. For this reason, it is recommended not to use DEXAMONO during pregnancy.
- It is not known whether this medicine is excreted in breast milk. However, the total dose of desamethasone is low. Therefore DEXAMONO can be used during breastfeeding.
