Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml

Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat various eye conditions caused by infection, inflammation, or injury in adults and children above 2 years of age. Eye inflammation is the swelling of eye tissue due to underlying conditions such as allergies, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye), or other eye disorders.

The Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml contains ‘fluorometholone’, which decreases the activity of the provoked immune system, thereby blocking white blood cells (WBC) from attacking our own body cells. This results in a decreased release of chemicals (prostaglandin) that cause pain and inflammation. It causes blood vessels to constrict, decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury and reducing the swelling, pain, and discomfort in the eyes.

Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml is only for ophthalmic use. You may experience a burning or itching sensation in the eye and blurred vision (when eye ointment is applied) after using this medicine. However, these effects are temporary. A common side-effect of Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml is increased pressure inside the eye. If you notice any persistent vision problems while using this medicine, consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml if you are allergic to ‘fluorometholone’ or any other ingredients present in it. Check its contents before using, as it may contain ‘benzalkonium chloride’ and ‘phosphates’. Soft lenses may absorb benzalkonium chloride, so do not wear contact lenses while using this medicine. Besides, it may also cause eye irritation, especially in people with dry eyes or disorders of the cornea (the transparent layer that covers the front portion of the eye). Phosphates may result in cloudy patches on the cornea in people with corneal disorders. Before taking Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml, inform your doctor if you have any eye infections. Also, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, herpes simplex (viral infection), and thin cornea, as this medicine may worsen the condition. Do not use this medicine for more than 7 days unless prescribed by your doctor.

Flurodrops Eye Drops 5 ml contains 'fluorometholone', which belongs to the class of medicines called 'steroids'. It controls inflammation by acting on the immune system and decreasing the provoked immune system by blocking white blood cells (WBC) from attacking the injured site's cells. As a result, this reduces the release of chemicals (prostaglandin) that cause pain and inflammation in the eyes. It also causes constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels, decreasing the access of cells to the injury site, which helps reduce the swelling, pain, and discomfort in the eyes.
