PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
A. 15.2 Ophthalmic preparation with corticosteroids
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Fluorometholone is a glucocorticoid and has anti-inflammatory
properties. It inhibits the
inflammatory response (oedema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation,
and phagocytic migration)
as well as capillary proliferation, deposition of collagen and scar
formation.
Glucocorticosteroids such as fluorometholone may increase intraocular
pressure, in normal
eyes and in subjects with ocular hypertension.
Neomycin is a broad spectrum bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic
with activity against
gram-positive
and
gram-negative
organisms.
Due
to
extensive
topical
use,
neomycin
resistance has been reported among _Pseudomonas aeruginosa_,
_Staphylococci_, and some
_Salmonella_,
_Shigella_,
and
_Escherichia _
_coli_
strains.
Cross-resistance
with
kanamycin,
framycetin and paromomycin occurs. The primary mechanism of action is
through inhibition of
protein synthesis by irreversibly binding with 30S ribosomal subunits.
Pus, exudates, and
bacteria growth products do not inactivate the antibiotic.
