L Pred Ophthalmic Suspension 5ml

L-Pred Eye Drops are utilised in the management of the following health conditions:

• Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis

• Inflammation occurring post-eye surgery

• Uveitis affecting the anterior segment of the eye

• Giant papillary conjunctivitis

• Inflammatory eye conditions requiring a corticosteroid where there is a risk or presence of a superficial bacterial eye infection

Administer L-Pred Eye Drops by following these steps:

• Ensure your hands are clean by washing them thoroughly.

• Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the suspension is well mixed.

• If irritation increases or persists, discontinue the use and consult your doctor.

• Do not touch the nozzle tip to any surface since this may contaminate the solution.

• If you need to administer additional eye medication, wait at least 5 minutes before doing so.

For specific advice tailored to your condition, consult your doctor.

L-Pred Eye Drops are instilled topically.

L-Pred Eye Drops contain two active ingredients:

• Loteprednol (5mg): This corticosteroid works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in your eye. The binding action inhibits the release of substances that cause inflammation in response to various stimuli. This dampening effect reduces swelling, redness, and discomfort.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.1mg): Classified as a quaternary ammonium compound, benzalkonium chloride acts as a preservative in the formulation. Its antimicrobial properties arise from its ability to disrupt bacterial cell membranes, causing leakage of cellular contents. This action helps prevent bacterial contamination of the eye drops and aids in managing superficial bacterial eye infections.

• Keep L-Pred Eye Drops in an upright position in a cool place.

• Shield the drops from freezing temperatures.

• Secure the bottle cap tightly after each use to prevent contamination.

• Ensure these eye drops are out of reach for children.

• Use the solution within one month after opening the container.

• If you are using L-Pred Eye Drops for seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, try to minimise exposure to allergens. For example, keep windows closed during high pollen seasons.

• Following eye surgery or during flare-ups of uveitis, rest your eyes frequently and avoid bright lights to reduce strain and discomfort.
