Pred Forte EYE DROPS 5ML

Pred Forte eye drops contain the active ingredient prednisolone acetate, which belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids. These eye drops are primarily used to treat inflammation in the eyes. Pred Forte is prescribed for various eye conditions, including:

• Allergic conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids) due to allergies.
• Uveitis: Inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.
• Iritis: Inflammation of the iris (the colored part of the eye).

It's essential to use Pred Forte eye drops exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Typically, the recommended dosage is one to two drops into the affected eye(s) every one to two hours at the beginning of treatment, followed by gradual tapering of the dosage as directed by your doctor. However, prolonged use of Pred Forte eye drops can lead to side effects, including increased intraocular pressure (which can potentially lead to glaucoma), cataracts, and secondary eye infections. Therefore, it's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your eye health while using these drops.
