Loteprednol Etabonate 0.2% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1171Eye Care
Product Introduction
Loteprednol Etabonate 0.2% w/v eye drops are a corticosteroid treatment for inflammation associated with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. They are intended for an inflammatory allergy flare rather than dryness alone.
How to use
Place the drops in the lower-eyelid pocket. Keep contact lenses out while the eyes are red or irritated. Space other eye drops five to ten minutes apart.
How it works
Loteprednol suppresses glucocorticoid-sensitive inflammatory pathways in ocular tissues. Local metabolism then converts it to less active compounds.
Side effects
Temporary burning, irritation or blur can occur. Longer use may still increase eye pressure or promote cataract and secondary infection.
Important information
A lower concentration does not remove corticosteroid precautions. Viral or fungal eye infection and a history of steroid-related ocular hypertension remain important.
Uses
- Steroid-responsive allergic ocular inflammation, especially seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
Benefits
Controls an inflammatory allergy flare when a short ocular steroid course is appropriate.
Why should I shake the loteprednol bottle before each use?
Loteprednol is supplied as a suspension, so particles can settle between uses. Shaking redistributes the medicine and helps each drop deliver an even amount.
Can a lower-strength steroid be used continuously?
No. A lower concentration still carries steroid-related risks, including increased eye pressure and worsening of certain infections during prolonged or repeated use.
Is this the same as an antihistamine eye drop?
No. Antihistamines target histamine, whereas loteprednol suppresses a broader inflammatory response.
Can it be used for contact-lens irritation?
Lens-related redness can indicate corneal injury or infection and should not be covered up with a steroid.
Does symptom relief mean I can skip follow-up?
No. Steroid-related pressure changes can occur without discomfort, particularly during a longer course.
