SKU GME1168Eye Care
Product Introduction
Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% w/v eye drops are a corticosteroid used to treat non-infectious inflammation at the front of the eye and inflammation after eye surgery. They reduce swelling and redness when allergy or another steroid-responsive condition causes persistent irritation.
How to use
Shake the suspension well before each dose. Instil into the lower-eyelid pocket and leave five to ten minutes before another eye medicine. After a longer course, reduce the frequency through the planned taper rather than stopping or restarting repeatedly on your own.
How it works
Loteprednol activates glucocorticoid receptors and suppresses inflammatory mediators. It is designed to be converted to less active metabolites after its local effect.
Side effects
Transient burning, blur or irritation may occur. Raised intraocular pressure, cataract formation, delayed healing and secondary infection are concerns with longer or repeated steroid use.
Important information
Herpes simplex keratitis and fungal eye infection can worsen with a steroid. Eye pressure should be monitored when treatment lasts ten days or longer, particularly in people with glaucoma.
Uses
- Steroid-responsive inflammation of the conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment. Postoperative ocular inflammation.
Benefits
Reduces inflammatory swelling and irritation when a corticosteroid is appropriate for the diagnosed condition.
Is this an antibiotic eye drop?
No. Loteprednol reduces inflammation but does not kill bacteria or fungi.
Does its local metabolism eliminate glaucoma risk?
No. The risk may differ from other steroids, but a pressure rise can still occur.
Why shake the suspension before each use?
Particles can settle between doses. Mixing them helps keep the delivered amount consistent.
Can it be reused whenever allergy symptoms return?
Repeated red-eye episodes can have different causes. Reusing a steroid without reassessment can conceal infection.
What if symptoms are worse after two days?
Increasing pain, redness or visual disturbance despite treatment needs prompt eye examination.
