What is Lotemax used for?
Loteprednol is a corticosteroid. Its function is to reduce inflammation. It does not kill bacteria. It works by blocking some of the chemicals that cause inflammation, itching, and redness.
Lotemax should only be used as prescribed. The standard dosage is to apply one drop to an affected eye three times a day. When used for post-surgery treatment, drops should be started 24 hours after surgery and continue for two weeks after. All other usage must be according to the doctor’s directions.
Loteprednol may be prescribed for short-term treatment of dry eye disease. Long-term use can cause glaucoma, so the length of treatment recommended by the prescribing doctor must be adhered to
Users should not stop treatment with loteprednol without consulting their doctor. Some conditions may worsen if the drug is stopped suddenly. The dosage may need to be gradually decreased.
