Benicort N Eye/Ear Drops is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye/ear red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth in the eye/ear by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Benicort N Eye/Ear Drops is used to treat bacterial infections and inflammation of the eye/ear. Do not use it for more than the prescribed duration as it may cause secondary infections. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface to avoid contamination. Stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer. It may cause short term blurring of vision when used in the eyes. Use caution before driving or using machines. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
