How Low-Dex Ophthalmic Solution works

Dexon is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy.

Quick Tips

Your doctor has prescribed Dexon to treat redness and swelling (inflammation) of the eye.
Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
