About loteprednol eye drops

Loteprednol eye drops are used short-term following eye surgery. The drops contain a corticosteroid (sometimes called a 'steroid') which helps to relieve inflammation, redness and irritation.

Before using loteprednol eye drops

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using the eye drops it is important that your doctor knows:

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any eye drops or other medicine.

• If you think you may have an eye infection.

• यदि आप सॉफ्ट कॉन्टैक्ट लेंस पहनते हैं।.

• यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं।.

• यदि आप कोई अन्य दवाएं ले रहे हैं। इसमें वे सभी दवाएं शामिल हैं जो आप बिना पर्ची के खरीद सकते हैं, साथ ही हर्बल और पूरक दवाएं भी शामिल हैं।.

How to use loteprednol eye drops

1. Wash your hands before you use the drops.

2. Shake the bottle well and then remove the cap.

3. Tilt your head back a little and pull the lower lid of your eye out to form a pocket.

4. बोतल को उल्टा करके अपनी आँख के पास रखें। ऐसा करते समय अपनी आँख को छूने की कोशिश न करें।.

5. Apply enough pressure to release one drop into your eye. Only use a second drop if the first drop missed going into your eye.

6. अपनी आँख को एक या दो मिनट के लिए बंद करें, और अपनी नाक के उस हिस्से पर हल्के से दबाव डालें जहाँ आपकी आँख का कोना आपकी नाक से मिलता है। यह बूंद को बहने से रोकने में मदद करता है और इसे आपकी आँख में बनाए रखता है।.

7. यदि आपको दोनों आँखों में ड्रॉप्स डालने के लिए कहा गया है, तो अपनी दूसरी आँख में भी यही प्रक्रिया दोहराएँ।.

8. Replace the cap.

• Before you use the eye drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from the pack. It will give you more information about the eye drops and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from using them.

• Use the eye drops exactly as your doctor tells you to. Unless you have been told otherwise, use the drops four times a day.

• Loteprednol eye drops are only meant to be used for a short period of time (no longer than 14 days). Do not use them for longer than your doctor has told you to. This is because they can cause problems within your eye when used for longer than recommended. If you have been asked to use the drops for longer than 10 days, your doctor may arrange for you to have the pressure in your eyes checked.

• Take care not to touch the tip of the dropper with your eye, fingers or any other surface. This will help to prevent the risk of infection.

• When first put in, eye drops can cause blurred vision. This should quickly clear but make sure you can see properly before you drive and before you use tools or machines, as otherwise you may put yourself and others at risk.

• If you are using any other eye drops or ointments, leave about ten minutes between applying each one. This is to prevent more liquid going into your eye than it can handle. Otherwise the drops will overflow from your eye and may not have the intended effect.

• If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, speak again with your doctor.

• If you normally wear contact lenses, do not wear them again until your doctor advises you do so. There are two reasons for this - you should not wear lenses while your eyes are inflamed, and bottles of eye drops contain a preservative which can affect some soft contact lenses.
