Description

Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic 1% 15 mL is a sterile ophthalmic suspension used for the management of inflammatory conditions affecting the eyes. It belongs to the corticosteroid class and works by reducing inflammation and suppressing immune responses. The medication is suitable for short-term use under the supervision of a healthcare provider to minimize potential side effects.

The active ingredient, prednisolone acetate, is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. It inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, reducing swelling, redness, and discomfort in the eyes. The suspension form ensures even distribution of the drug across the ocular surface for optimal therapeutic effect.

Indications for this medication include postoperative inflammation, uveitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and other non-infectious inflammatory eye conditions. It is often prescribed following eye surgery to prevent complications related to inflammation. Patients are advised to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
