THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION

ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Fluorometholone inhibits the inflammatory response to chemical,
immunological or mechanical
irritants.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
For steroid responsive inflammation of palpebral and bulbar
conjunctiva, cornea and anterior
segment of globe.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Tuberculosis of the eye, fungal diseases of the eye, acute superficial
herpes simplex keratitis; and
most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva. Acute untreated
purulent ocular infections.

WARNINGS
Use of topical corticosteroid may cause increased intraocular pressure
in certain individuals. It is
necessary that the intraocular pressure be checked frequently and
particularly in patients with a
history of glaucoma or with a family history of glaucoma. If
sensitivity or other untoward
reactions occur, discontinue the medication. Prolonged use may result
in glaucoma, damage to
the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and visual field, posterior
subcapsular cataract formation,
or may aid in the establishment of secondary ocular infection from
pathogens liberated from
ocular tissue. In those diseases causing thinning of the cornea, or
sclera, perforation has been
known to occur with the use of topical steroids.
Use in Pregnancy:
Safety of the use of topical steroids during pregnancy has not been
established.
