Description
Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medicines are used in the eye to lessen problems that can occur during or after some kinds of eye surgery. Sometimes, the pupil of the eye gets smaller during an operation. This makes it more difficult for the surgeon to reach some areas of the eye. Some of these medicines are used to help prevent this. Also, some of them are used after eye surgery, to relieve effects such as inflammation or edema (too much fluid in the eye).
These medicines may also be used for other conditions, as determined by your ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Solution
- Suspension
