A member asked:

Should i stop using maxidex (dexamethasone) eye drops after awhile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: Antibiotic-steroid eye medicines have side effects such as cataract and glaucoma from the steroid component and should not be used unless under the care of an eye doctor and as prescribed. Good luck and have a nice day!
