Betnesol-N Eye/Ear Drops

Betnesol-N Eye/Ear Drops is a combination medicine containing betamethasone (a corticosteroid) and neomycin (an antibiotic). It is used for the treatment of infections and inflammation of the eyes and ears. The medicine helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and irritation while also controlling bacterial growth. Doctors commonly prescribe it for eye conditions like conjunctivitis and ear infections like otitis externa.

Uses of Betnesol-N Eye/Ear Drops

• Bacterial eye infections (such as conjunctivitis)

• Inflammation and redness of the eyes caused by infection or allergy

• Ear infections (like otitis externa)

• Relief from symptoms such as itching, swelling, irritation, and discharge

Benefits of Betnesol-N Eye/Ear Drops

• Provides quick relief from inflammation and discomfort

• Controls the spread of infection by killing harmful bacteria

• Helps restore normal eye and ear function more quickly

• Reduces risk of complications caused by untreated infections

Possible Side Effects
Most people tolerate the drops well, but some may experience:

• Mild burning or stinging sensation after use

• Itching or irritation at the application site

• Temporary blurred vision (for eye use)

• Rarely, allergic reactions like swelling or rash

If irritation persists or worsens, consult your doctor promptly.

How It Works

• Betamethasone reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by suppressing immune response.

• Neomycin kills infection-causing bacteria by stopping their growth.
  Together, they provide both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action.

How to Use

• Wash your hands before using the drops.

• For eyes: Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the drop inside without touching the dropper tip.

• For ears: Lie on your side, put the drops into the affected ear, and remain in position for a few minutes.

• Use exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not stop early, even if symptoms improve.

Safety Advice

• For external use only; do not swallow.

• Avoid contact of the dropper tip with eyes, ears, or hands to prevent contamination.

• Do not use longer than prescribed, as steroids may cause side effects with prolonged use.

• Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, ear drum perforation, or viral/fungal eye infections.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only if prescribed.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
