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.

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.
