Polydex refers to combination preparations used for local use in otorhinolaryngology. The therapeutic effect of the use of polydex is due to the anti-inflammatory effect of dexamethasone and the antibacterial effect of polymexin and neomycin. The composition of the nasal spray also includes phenylephrine. The combination of these antibiotics allows you to expand the spectrum of antibacterial effects on many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, which most often cause inflammation of the outer and middle ear, nose and sinuses.
