Blepharotic: what is it and how does it work

Blepharotic is a medicine used to treat various eye diseases, such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, dacryoadenitis and others. This is a combination drug containing an antibiotic and a glucocorticosteroid.

The word "blepharo-" means "pertaining to the eyelashes or eyelids" and "tic" is a nervous disorder involving involuntary muscle movements. Thus, a blepharotic is a medicine that helps eliminate involuntary contractions of the eyelid muscles caused by eye diseases.

The main active ingredient of blepharotic is the antibiotic tobramycin, which effectively fights infectious eye diseases. The glucocorticosteroid included in the drug relieves inflammation and reduces swelling of the tissues around the eyes.

Blepharotic is available in the form of eye drops, which are usually prescribed to adults and children over 1 year of age. For the treatment of conjunctivitis and blepharitis, drops are prescribed 1-2 drops in each eye 4 times a day for 7-10 days. For the treatment of dacryoadenitis, drops are prescribed 1 drop in each eye 6 times a day for 7-10 days.

Like any medicine, blepharotic may cause side effects such as eye irritation, burning, itching, and watery eyes. If you notice any unusual symptoms after using blepharotic, contact your doctor.

Overall, blepharotic is an effective medication for treating eye conditions caused by infection and inflammation. However, as with any medicine, you should consult your doctor before using it and follow his or her recommendations for dosage and use.
