Fluorometholone Eye Drops IP 0.1% w/v

Fluorometholone Eye Drops are used to treat different eye problems caused by infections, swelling, or injuries in adults and children older than 2 years. Eye inflammation is when the tissues in the eye become swollen. This can happen because of things like allergies, conjunctivitis (which is an irritation of the eye’s lining), or other eye problems.

Fluorometholone Eye Drops has a chemical called ‘fluorometholone’, which helps lower the activity of the immune system. This stops white blood cells (WBC) from attacking our own body cells. This leads to less release of substances (prostaglandin) that cause pain and swelling. It makes blood vessels narrow, which limits the flow of cells to the injured area and helps reduce swelling, pain, and discomfort in the eyes.

Directions To Use

• Make sure to wash your hands carefully before using the drops.
• Shake the bottle a lot and then take off the cap.
• Lean your head back a bit and gently pull down the lower part of your eye to create a small space.
• Turn the bottle upside down and hold it close to your eye. Try to avoid touching your eye while you do this.

• Press gently to let one drop go into your eye. Only use a second drop if the first one didn’t go in your eye.
• Shut your eyes for a minute or two and lightly push on the side of your nose where it meets the corner of your eye. This helps keep the drop from running out and makes sure it stays in your eye.
• Do the same thing for your other eye if you need to use the drops in both eyes.
• Put the cap back on.

Safety Measures of Fluorometholone Eye Drops

• Before you use the eye drops, read the information sheet that comes with the package. It will give you more details about the eye drops and show you all the possible side effects you might have from using them.
• Use the eye drops just like your doctor instructed you. Unless you hear something different, use the drops every hour while you’re awake for the first two days until your symptoms get better. After that, use them 2 to 4 times a day for the next few days.
• Fluorometholone eye drops should only be used for a little while. Don’t use them for more than a week unless your doctor says it’s okay. This is because using them for too long can lead to issues in your eye.
• Be careful not to touch the end of the dropper with your eye, fingers, or anything else. This will help avoid getting an infection.
• When you first use eye drops, your vision might become blurry. This should clear up fast, but make sure you can see well before you drive or use tools and machines. If not, you might put yourself and others in danger.
• If you are using other eye drops or ointments, wait about ten minutes before using the next one. This is to stop too much liquid from getting into your eye. If you don’t do it right, the drops will spill out of your eye and might not work as expected.
• If your symptoms don’t get better in a few days or if they get worse, talk to your doctor again.
• If you usually wear contact lenses, wait to wear them again until your doctor says it’s okay. There are two reasons for this: you shouldn’t wear contact lenses when your eyes are red or swollen, and eye drop bottles have a chemical that can harm some soft contact lenses.
