Indications
Lotenol sterile eye gel is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.
Pharmacology
Loteprednol is a corticosteroid that is considered to work by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, which block the release of arachidonic acid, which controls the manufacture of potent inflammatory mediators such prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Dosage & Administration
Apply one to two drops of Lotenol gel into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye four times daily beginning the day after surgery and continuing throughout the first 2 weeks of the post-operative period.
Contraindications
Most viral infections of the cornea and conjunctiva are contraindicated. It's also not recommended for people who have a known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the chemicals in this product, as well as other corticosteroids.
Side Effects
Glaucoma with optic nerve damage, visual acuity, and field defects; cataract formation; secondary eye infection as a result of the host's immune system being suppressed.
