Sofracort (active ingredient: dexamethasone sodium, framycetin sulphate, and gramicidin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Eye Infections: Sofracort is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, including conjunctivitis and other inflammatory eye conditions.
  2. Ear Infections: It is also indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the ear, especially those with accompanying inflammation and itching.

Sofracort belongs to a class of drugs known as combined corticosteroids and antibiotics. It includes a corticosteroid (dexamethasone sodium) to reduce inflammation and swelling, and antibiotics (framycetin sulphate and gramicidin) to combat bacterial infections.

Sofracort is typically administered as eye or ear drops and is for external use only. The dose and duration of treatment may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s medical history. Here are some general guidelines when using Sofracort:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly before using Sofracort.
  2. Shake the bottle well before using the medication.
  3. Tilt your head back if using Sofracort in the eyes or tilt your head to the side if using it in the ears.
  4. Gently pull down the lower lid of your eye if using Sofracort in the eyes or gently pull the earlobe back and upward if using it in the ears.
  5. Apply the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye or ear, being careful not to touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the eye or ear.
  6. Close your eye or keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow the medication to be absorbed.
  7. Repeat these steps for the other eye or ear, if prescribed.

Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

  • Sofracort should not be used to treat viral or fungal infections of the eye/ear, as it is only effective against bacterial infections.
  • Sofracort should not be used by people with a history of allergic reactions to any of its components, including framycetin sulfate, gramicidin, or dexamethasone.
  • Sofracort should not be used by people with a perforated ear drum, unless specifically advised by a doctor, as it can potentially cause hearing loss or damage.
  • Sofracort should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consulting a doctor, as the safety of the medication in these situations is unknown.
  • Sofracort may increase intraocular pressure (pressure within the eye), which can worsen certain eye conditions like glaucoma.
  • Sofracort may cause some side effects, which can include burning, irritation, dryness, or itching of the eye/ear, as well as blurred vision or sensitivity to light.
  • The use of Sofracort can lead to the overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi, which can result in secondary infections. If this happens, treatment with Sofracort should be stopped and alternative therapy may be required.
  • Sofracort should be used with caution in individuals with a history of herpes simplex virus infections in the eye, as it may cause the virus to reactivate.
  • Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment with Sofracort. Overuse or unnecessary use of Sofracort can lead to antibiotic resistance, which can make it harder to treat bacterial infections in the future.
  • Sofracort is not recommended for use in children under the age of 2 years, unless prescribed by a doctor.
  • If you are currently using other medications, inform your doctor before using Sofracort, as certain medications may interact with the medication.
