Lotenol Forte Drops

Lotenol Forte Drops contains Loteprednol, a corticosteroid eye drop. Made by Remington Pharmaceuticals Industries, it is prescribed for eye inflammation, allergic conjunctivitis and inflammation after eye surgery. Pack size: lotenol forte drops.

Uses of Lotenol Forte Drops

Lotenol Forte Drops is used to reduce inflammation in the eye. It is prescribed for swelling, redness and pain after eye surgery such as cataract operations, and for inflammatory eye conditions that respond to steroids. It is also used to relieve itching and redness in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Use it only for the condition and length of time your eye doctor recommends.

How Lotenol Forte Drops works

Loteprednol is a corticosteroid that switches off many of the chemicals the eye releases when it is inflamed, reducing redness, swelling, itching and pain. It is designed to be broken down quickly once it has acted, which is thought to lower, though not remove, the risk of raised eye pressure seen with some other steroid drops.

Possible side effects

Lotenol Forte Drops is applied directly to the eye, so most side effects are local. They include:

• Blurred vision just after use
• Burning or stinging
• Dry or watery eyes
• Itching
• Feeling that something is in the eye

See a doctor promptly for eye pain, worsening redness, discharge, any change or loss of vision, or seeing halos around lights, as these may signal infection or raised eye pressure.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or any surface, to keep the drops free from germs.
• Remove contact lenses before use and wait before putting them back in, unless your eye doctor advises otherwise.
• Using steroid eye drops for a long time can raise eye pressure, cause cataracts or hide an infection, so your eye pressure may need checking.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma or a viral or fungal eye infection such as herpes, as steroids can make these worse.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Lotenol Forte Drops only after speaking to your doctor.
