Precautions and warnings

Steroids can hide, trigger, or make eye infections worse.

Using steroids for a long time can make the cornea and sclera thinner, and in rare cases, the cornea can even develop a hole.

If you don’t see any improvement after 7-8 days of treatment, you should try other treatment options.

If your vision becomes blurry after using this medicine—especially the ointment—do not drive or use machines.

Take out your contact lenses before using this medicine each time.

Contraindications

Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Do not use if you have injuries or ulcers on your cornea. Avoid if you have viral eye infections (like Herpes simplex or Vaccinia) or fungal infections.

Do not use if you have tuberculosis of the eye.

Do not use if you have glaucoma.

Mode of actions

Fluorometholone works by reducing inflammation. It does this by stopping certain white blood cells from moving to the area of inflammation and by preventing fluid from leaking out of tiny blood vessels.

Gentamicin is an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group. It attaches to parts of the bacteria called ribosomal subunits (specifically the 30s and 50s units), which stops the bacteria from making proteins properly. This process damages the bacteria’s cell membrane and helps kill the bacteria.
