Indication

Steroid responsive inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe such as allergic conjunctivitis, acne rosacea, superficial punctate keratitis, herpes zoster keratitis, iritis, cyclitis, selected infective conjunctivitides when the inherent hazard of steroid use is accepted to obtain an advisable diminution in edema and inflammation; corneal injury from chemical, radiation or thermal burns or penetration of foreign bodies.


Dosage & Administration

Shake well before using.
Instill 1 drop into the conjunctival sac two to four times daily. During the initial 24 to 48 hours, the dosing frequency may be increased if necessary. Care should be taken not to discontinue therapy prematurely.


Precautions

If signs and symptoms fail to improve after 2 days, the patient should be re-evaluated. As fungal infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop coincidentally with long-term local corticosteroid applications, fungal invasion should be suspected in any persistent corneal ulceration where a corticosteroid has been used or is in use. Fungal cultures should be taken when appropriate.

 

If this product is used for 10 days or longer, intraocular pressure should be monitored.

 

Do not touch dropper tip to any surface as this may contaminate this preparation.

 

Use in Pregnancy & Lactation
There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. Prednisolone Acetate BP 1% ophthalmic suspension should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

 

It is not known whether topical ophthalmic administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. So, this drug should be used in nursing mother only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
