Measure
Levofloxacin + Dexamethasone
Levofloxacin 0.5% + DSP 0.132% (w/v) eye drops (TEST product). One ml contains levofloxacin hemihydrate 5.12 mg, corresponding to 5 mg of levofloxacin, and DSP 1.32 mg, corresponding to 1 mg of dexamethasone. Administration route: ocular instillation Dose and regimen: two 30 μl doses 30 minutes apart, one 90 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery and the other 60 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery (each dose contains 150 μg anhydrous levofloxacin and 39.6 μg DSP).
Levofloxacin
Levofloxacin 0.5% eye drops (Oftaquix®). One ml contains 5,12 mg of levofloxacin hemihydrate equal to 5 mg of levofloxacin. Administration route: ocular instillation Dose and regimen: two 30 μl doses 30 minutes apart, one 90 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery and the other 60 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery (each dose contains 150 μg anhydrous levofloxacin).
Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate 0.15% eye drops (Tamesad®). One ml contains 1.5 mg of DSP corresponding to 1.14 mg/ml of dexamethasone. Administration route: ocular instillation Dose and regimen: two 26 μl doses 30 minutes apart, one 90 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery and the other 60 ± 15 minutes prior to surgery (each dose containing 39 μg DSP).
