FML FORTE Eye Drop 5ml

FML FORTE Eye Drop 5ml contains Fluorometholone, a potent and effective corticosteroid specifically designed to address severe ocular inflammation. This formulation is a stronger version of Fluorometholone compared to standard FML Eye Drops, making it suitable for more intense inflammatory conditions. The 5ml bottle is designed for precise dosing and ease of application, ensuring you receive the correct amount of medication with each use.

Uses:

FML FORTE Eye Drops are typically prescribed for:

1. Severe Allergic Conjunctivitis: Provides relief from significant inflammation and discomfort caused by severe eye allergies.
2. Severe Uveitis: Manages intense inflammation in the uveal tract, which can be challenging to control with milder treatments.
3. Post-Surgical Inflammation: Helps in controlling substantial inflammation and discomfort following eye surgeries, such as cataract or refractive surgery.
4. Corneal Injuries: Effective in treating severe inflammation resulting from more serious corneal abrasions or injuries.

Side Effects:

Due to its strength, FML FORTE may have more pronounced side effects compared to standard formulations:

1. Increased Intraocular Pressure: Risk of elevated eye pressure, which may lead to glaucoma with prolonged use.
2. Cataract Formation: Long-term use can contribute to the development of cataracts.
3. Eye Irritation: Possible burning, stinging, or dryness upon application.
4. Blurred Vision: Temporary blurring of vision may occur.
5. Sensitivity to Light: Increased sensitivity to light might be experienced.

Precautions:

1. Monitor Usage: Use FML FORTE only as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid potential side effects.
2. Regular Eye Check-ups: Frequent monitoring of intraocular pressure and eye health is essential.
3. Avoid in Certain Infections: Do not use if you have a viral, fungal, or bacterial eye infection, as corticosteroids can exacerbate these conditions.
4. Consultation for Special Populations: If pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss potential risks with your healthcare provider.
