About prednisolone eye drops

Prednisolone eye drops are used to treat short-term inflammatory eye conditions. They are usually prescribed by an eye specialist. They contain a corticosteroid (sometimes called a 'steroid') which helps to relieve inflammation, redness and irritation.

Before using prednisolone eye drops

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

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

• 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 prednisolone eye drops

• 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 could experience from using them.

• Use the eye drops exactly as your doctor tells you to. It is usual to apply the drops frequently during the first two days until your symptoms are controlled - typically every 1-2 hours while you are awake. Once your eye begins to feel better, reduce the frequency of using the drops to four times a day for a further few days, then stop.

• Prednisolone eye drops are only meant to be used for a short period of time. Do not use them for longer than one week unless your doctor advises you otherwise. This is because they can cause problems within your eye when used for longer than recommended.

1. ड्रॉप्स का उपयोग करने से पहले अपने हाथ अच्छी तरह धोएं।.

2. Remove the cap (or twist off the tip of a unit if you are using single-dose Minims®).

3. अपने सिर को थोड़ा पीछे की ओर झुकाएं और अपनी आंख की निचली पलक को नीचे की ओर खींचें ताकि एक जेब बन सके।.

4. Hold the bottle (or single-dose unit) upside down near to your eye. Try not to touch your eye as you do this.

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

6. Close your eye for a minute or two and press gently on the side of your nose where the corner of your eye meets your nose. This helps to stop the drop from draining away and keeps it in your eye.

7. Repeat the process in your other eye if you have been told to use the drops in both eyes. (The contents of one single-dose unit are enough for both eyes.)

8. Replace the cap (or if you are using the single-dose unit, throw it away).

• 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 or before using tools or machines, as otherwise you may put yourself and others at risk.

• If you are using any other eye drops or eye ointments, leave 5-10 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.

• यदि कुछ दिनों के भीतर आपके लक्षणों में सुधार नहीं होता है, या यदि वे और खराब हो जाते हैं, तो अपने डॉक्टर से फिर से संपर्क करें।.

• If you normally wear contact lenses, please wear your spectacles instead until your doctor advises you that it is suitable for you to wear your lenses again. 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.

Can prednisolone eye drops cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, eye drops can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains the most common ones associated with prednisolone eye drops. You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with your drops. Unwanted effects often improve as your body adjusts to a new medicine but speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

Occasionally people can be allergic to eye drops, particularly if the eye drops contain a preservative. If you notice a rash around your eyes, or any swelling or itching, stop using the drops and contact a doctor for advice. If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to the eye drops, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

How to store prednisolone eye drops

• सभी दवाओं को बच्चों की पहुँच और दृष्टि से दूर रखें।.

• ठंडी, सूखी जगह पर रखें, सीधे गर्मी और रोशनी से दूर।.

• Eye drops only keep for four weeks once the bottle has been opened so throw away the bottle after your course of treatment is finished, even if there is some solution left. This will help to prevent the risk of eye infections.

• Single-dose units should be used as soon as the unit is opened. Do not keep opened units to re-use at a later time.
