About PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML

PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ophthalmic medication primarily used to treat Post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. Pain is an unpleasant and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Pain perception can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable. Inflammation is your immune system's natural response to injury or infection.

PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML contains Loteprednol. It works by inhibiting the release of certain natural substances that cause swelling, itching, and pain. As a result, inflammation and pain are reduced after using PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML.

PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML is for external use only. Before using it, break the seal and wash your hands to avoid any infection or contamination. If you wear contact lenses or are wearing them, remove them before using PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML, and you can put them back 15 minutes after using PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML. You may experience watery eyes, irritation in the eyes, and eye itching, in some cases. Most of these side effects of PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Put PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML only if the doctor prescribes you. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. You should not stop taking PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML abruptly as it may worsen your symptoms. Do not take PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML if you are allergic to corticosteroids or any ingredient of PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML. Also, do not put more than the prescribed dose of PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML as it may cause glaucoma or optic nerve damage. Do not take any other eye medication with PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML, without consulting your doctor. Use of PREDNOL LS EYE DROPS 5ML after cataract surgery is known to slow the surgery's healing process, so it is given in a very minimum dose.
