Fluorometholone Soln 0.1%-5ml

Overview

Fluorometholone eye drops are effective for managing inflammation-related discomfort and preventing potential complications that could impair vision. The solution’s formulation allows for targeted delivery directly to the affected area, minimizing systemic absorption and associated side effects.

Fluorometholone Soln 0.1%-5ml Uses

Fluorometholone Solution 0.1%-5ml is used for:

• Treating non-infectious inflammatory conditions of the eye, such as keratitis and conjunctivitis.
• Reducing eye inflammation following eye surgery.
• Managing symptoms of allergic reactions affecting the eyes.

How Fluorometholone Soln 0.1%-5ml Works

Fluorometholone functions by suppressing the immune response in the eye, particularly the activity of substances that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By doing so, it decreases swelling, redness, and irritation, providing relief from discomfort and helping to maintain normal eye function.

How to Use Fluorometholone Soln 0.1%-5ml

• Fluorometholone Solution should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Before use, wash your hands thoroughly. Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and apply one drop into the pocket. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure to prevent the medication from draining away.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eyes or hands, to avoid contamination.
• Use the drops regularly at the same times each day to get the most benefit.
