Not oral. His post-surgical protocol called for Tobradex®, Alcon's ophthalmic combination of the antibiotic tobramycin 0.3% + dexamethasone 0.1% (for several weeks).
Thanks for filling in the gap in my memory.
I thought I remembered dexamethasone as a drop, but I couldn't find any reference to it as such, but now that you've mentioned Tobradex®, I remember that one of my doctors once prescribed it for conjunctivitis without asking whether I had insurance that would cover its
then outrageous cost; I declined.
