Indication

This is indicated for steroid responsive inflammatory ocular conditions (palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe) where superficial bacterial ocular infection exists.

 

It is also indicated in chronic anterior uveities and corneal injury from chemical radiation or thermal burns, or penetration of foreign bodies. The use of combination with an anti-infective component is indicated where the risk of superficial ocular infection is high.


Dosage & Administration

Insert 1 drop into the conjunctival sac 3-5 times per day. During the initial 24 to 48 hours, the dosage may be increased to 1 drop every 2 hours.


Precautions

The possibility of fungal infections of the cornea should be considered after long-term steroid dosing. As like other antibiotic preparations, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If super infection occurs, appropriate therapy should be initiated. Cross-sensitivity to other aminoglycoside antibiotics may occur; if hypersensitivity develops with the product, discontinue use and institute

appropriate therapy.

 

Pregnancy:
There were no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. This ophthalmic solution should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potent risk to the fetus.

 

Nursing Mothers:
It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when this ophthalmic solution is administered to a nursing woman.

 

Pediatric Use:
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 2 years
have not been established.
