Polydexa (Polydexa) - pharmacological combined drug for the treatment of otitis media.
Composition and form of release
According to the instructions, Polydex is available in the form of ear drops. The drug is a combination of glucocorticosteroids (dexamethasone) and antibacterial agents (aminoglycoside - neomycin and cyclic polypeptide - polymyxin B).
100 ml of Polydex solution contains: neomycin sulfate 1 g (650000 IU), polymyxin B 1,000,000 IU, dexamethasone sodium metasulfobenzoate 0.1 g. In addition to the main components, this preparation contains auxiliary substances (citric acid, thiomersal, macrogol, polysorbate, purified water, 1 N sodium hydroxide solution).
Externally, the Polydex solution is a clear, light yellow liquid that foams upon stirring.
Polydexa is produced in glass bottles of 10.5 ml, the kit includes a pipette and instructions for use.
Pharmacological action of Polydex
According to the instructions, Polydexa has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. This drug has a damaging effect on the cell membranes of microorganisms, and also disrupts the exchange within the cell itself, which leads to its death. Dexamethasone inhibits the formation of inflammatory enzymes and reduces capillary permeability.
According to the instructions, Polydex is effective against many gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. The drug has no systemic effects while maintaining the integrity of the tympanic membrane.
Indications for use
The indications for the use of Polydex are the following conditions:
- otitis externa, infected eczema of the external auditory canal;
- average acute otitis media.
Contraindications to the use of Polydex
- hypersensitivity to the constituent components of the drug;
- perforation of the tympanic membrane (traumatic or infectious).
Application during pregnancy and lactation
Polydex is not recommended for long-term use during pregnancy, as there is a risk of ototoxic effects on the fetus.
Dosage and administration of Polydex
According to the instructions, Polydex should be instilled into the external auditory canal. It is recommended to warm the solution by holding it in your hand before use. According to reviews, Polydex effectively helps with acute otitis media and is well tolerated by patients.
This drug should be instilled in 1-5 drops 2 times a day, the course of treatment is 6-10 days. Do not use Polydex for more than 10 days. After the instillation of the drug, it is recommended to tilt the head for a few minutes to avoid leakage of the drug.
Side effect
According to Polydex's reviews, it can very rarely cause allergic skin reactions. If the integrity of the tympanic membrane is violated, there may be violations of the auditory and vestibular function.
Overdose with Polydex
This drug has a low degree of absorption into the bloodstream, so overdose is unlikely.
Interaction with other medicinal products
According to the instructions, Polydex is not recommended to be combined with the use of monomycin, gentamicin, streptomycin, amikacin, netilmicin, since the ototoxic effect may be enhanced.
Polydex's analogs
The analogue of Polydex is Polydex with phenylephrine (nasal spray), as well as Maxitrol (combination drug with neomycin, polymyxin B and dexamethasone). You should consult your doctor before replacing Polydex with an analogue.
special instructions
Before using Polydex, you should make sure that the patient does not have a perforation of the tympanic membrane, since the use of this drug in this case can lead to serious complications in the form of deafness and vestibular disorders. The administration of Polydex under pressure is contraindicated. It is not recommended to combine this drug with other antibiotics from the aminoglycoside group.
