FML-NEO Eye Drop 5ml combines Fluorometholone, a corticosteroid, and Neomycin, an antibiotic, to provide comprehensive treatment for eye conditions. Fluorometholone is used to reduce inflammation, while Neomycin helps combat bacterial infections. This combination makes FML-NEO particularly effective for managing eye inflammation accompanied by bacterial infections. The 5ml bottle ensures precise application and is designed for ease of use in treating various ocular conditions.

Uses:

FML-NEO Eye Drops are typically prescribed for:

1. Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Treats bacterial infections of the conjunctiva while reducing associated inflammation.
2. Inflammation of the Eye: Alleviates inflammation due to conditions like allergic conjunctivitis or uveitis when complicated by bacterial infection.
3. Post-Surgical Inflammation: Helps manage inflammation and prevent infection following eye surgeries such as cataract surgery.
4. Corneal Injuries: Assists in treating inflammation and infection resulting from corneal abrasions or injuries.

Side Effects:

While FML-NEO Eye Drops are effective, they may cause:

1. Increased Intraocular Pressure: Prolonged use may lead to elevated eye pressure, potentially causing glaucoma.
2. Cataract Formation: Long-term use of corticosteroids like Fluorometholone can contribute to cataract development.
3. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, users might experience hypersensitivity reactions to Neomycin, such as itching, redness, or swelling.
4. Eye Irritation: Possible burning, stinging, or dryness upon application.
5. Blurred Vision: Temporary blurred vision may occur.

Precautions:

1. Avoid Prolonged Use: Use only as directed by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.
2. Monitor Eye Pressure: Regular eye check-ups are necessary to monitor intraocular pressure during treatment.
3. Check for Allergies: Ensure you are not allergic to Neomycin or any other ingredients in the drops.
4. Avoid in Certain Infections: Do not use if you have fungal or viral eye infections, as corticosteroids can exacerbate these conditions.

When Not to Use:

• Active Eye Infections: Avoid use if you have a viral, fungal, or other types of bacterial infections not susceptible to Neomycin.
• Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to Fluorometholone, Neomycin, or any components of the solution.
