Dosage and Administration
Topically.
With a mild infection
1-2 drops in the conjunctival sac 4-6 times a day.
In an acute severe infectious process
1-2 drops in the conjunctival sac every 60 minutes, with a decrease in the frequency of drug installations as inflammation decreases.
Side effects
Local. An allergic reaction, accompanied by itching and swelling of the eyelids, conjunctival hyperemia. Side effects due to the steroid component: increased intraocular pressure with possible subsequent development of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve and visual fields (when using the drug for more than 10 days, monitoring of intraocular pressure is necessary), posterior subcapsular cataract, slowing the healing process. Topical use of steroids in diseases that cause thinning of the cornea or sclera can lead to their perforation.
Secondary infection. The development of a secondary infection is observed after the use of combined preparations containing GCS in combination with antibiotics. With prolonged use of steroids, the development of fungal infections of the cornea is possible. The appearance on the cornea of non-healing ulcers after prolonged treatment with steroid drugs may indicate the development of fungal invasion. Secondary bacterial infection can occur as a result of suppression of the protective reaction of the patient’s body.
