  • Description

    Dexamethasone, a potent synthetic corticosteroid, exerts its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors, leading to the regulation of various genes involved in inflammation. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, reduces capillary permeability, and suppresses immune cell activity. Sulphacetamide, on the other hand, is a sulfonamide antibiotic that interferes with the synthesis of folic acid in susceptible bacteria, thereby inhibiting their growth. When applied topically to the eyes, sulphacetamide inhibits the growth of common ocular pathogens, helping to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
