Usage

What is Fluorometholone?

Fluorometholone is a synthetic corticosteroid medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as glucocorticoids. It is primarily used as a topical ophthalmic (eye) medication to treat various inflammatory conditions of the eye, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), keratitis (corneal inflammation), uveitis (inflammation of the uvea), and iritis (inflammation of the iris).

Fluorometholone works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the body's immune response in the affected area. It helps to alleviate symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with eye inflammation.

The medication is usually available as eye drops or eye ointment and is typically applied directly to the affected eye(s) as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to achieve the best results while minimizing the risk of side effects.
