Actions and Spectrum:
dibrompropamidine is an antimicrobial agent that is commonly used as an eye drop or eye ointment for the treatment of certain eye infections.
dibrompropamidine is effective against a variety of bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It may be used in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and other ocular infections caused by susceptible organisms.
dibrompropamidine also exhibits activity against some protozoa, such as Acanthamoeba. Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare but severe eye infection, and dibrompropamidine may be used in its treatment.

None
Contraindications/caution:
Pregnancy consideration: Insufficient data available
Lactation: Excretion of the drug in human breast milk is unknown
Pregnancy category:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
Pharmacology:
dibrompropamidine exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against microorganisms, including:
Active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It may be used for bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms.
Effective against certain protozoa, particularly Acanthamoeba. Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare but serious eye infection, and dibrompropamidine may be used in its treatment.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption
dibrompropamidine is typically administered topically as eye drops or ointment. The absorption through the ocular surface is limited, and systemic absorption is minimal.
Distribution
After topical administration, the drug is distributed locally in the eye tissues.
Metabolism and Elimination
The metabolism and elimination of dibrompropamidine need to be better characterized. Since it is used topically in the eye, systemic metabolism and elimination are likely minimal.
Administration:
It is typically administered as eye drops or eye ointment.
