STERILE
DESCRIPTION
FML (fluorometholone ophthalmic suspension, USP) 0.1% is a sterile,
topical anti-
inflammatory agent for ophthalmic use.
CHEMICAL NAME
Fluorometholone:
9-Fluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-6α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione.
STRUCTURAL FORMULA
CONTAINS
ACTIVE: fluorometholone 0.1%. PRESERVATIVE: benzalkonium chloride
0.004%.
INACTIVES: edetate disodium; polysorbate 80; polyvinyl alcohol 1.4%;
purified water;
sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; sodium phosphate,
monobasic; and
sodium hydroxide to adjust pH. FML suspension is formulated with a pH
from 6.2 to
7.5. It has an osmolality range of 290-350 mOsm/kg.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Corticosteroids inhibit the inflammatory response to a variety of
inciting agents and
probably delay or slow healing. They inhibit the edema, fibrin
deposition, capillary dilation,
leukocyte migration, capillary proliferation, fibroblast
proliferation, deposition of collagen,
and scar formation associated with inflammation.
There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action
of ocular
corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the
induction of
phospholipase A inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins.
It is postulated that
these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of
inflammation such as
prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their
common precursor,
arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane
phospholipids by

phospholipase A .
Corticosteroids are capable of producing a rise in intraocular
pressure. In clinical studies
of documented steroid-responders, fluorometholone demonstrated a
significantly longer
average time to produce a rise in intraocular pressure than
dexamethasone phosphate;
however, in a small percentage of individuals, a significant rise in
intraocular pressure
occurred within one week. The ultimate magnitude of the rise
