Uses of Lotepred-T 0.5 mg / 0.3 mg Drops

How Lotepred-T 0.5 mg / 0.3 mg Drops works

Loteprednol is a corticosteroid that dampens the inflammatory response in the eye, reducing redness, swelling and pain. Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to survive, clearing the infection. Together they treat both the inflammation and the bacteria at the same time.

Possible side effects

Eye drops like Lotepred-T 0.5 mg / 0.3 mg Drops act mainly on the eye itself, so side effects tend to be local. Those reported more often include:

• Stinging or burning when the drops go in
• Temporarily blurred vision
• Watery or itchy eyes
• Feeling of something in the eye
• Headache

Contact your eye doctor urgently if you have eye pain, worsening redness, a sudden change in vision, sensitivity to light, or swelling of the eyelids or face.

Precautions and warnings

• Use Lotepred-T 0.5 mg / 0.3 mg Drops only for the time your eye doctor advises, as long-term steroid eye drops can raise eye pressure and increase the risk of cataract and other eye infections.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, a history of herpes eye infection, or any fungal or viral eye infection.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or any surface, to avoid contaminating the bottle.
• Remove contact lenses before using the drops and ask your doctor when it is safe to wear them again.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor.
