What is Lotemax Ophthalmic Gel used for?
Lotemax Ophthalmic Gel is used to treat post-operative inflammation and pain in the eye following ocular surgery. It offers anti-inflammatory benefits with a lower risk of increasing intraocular pressure compared to other steroids.
How is the gel different from the drops?
The gel formulation provides a longer contact time with the eye surface, potentially enhancing therapeutic effects. It also offers better viscosity, which can improve adherence in some patients and reduce dosing frequency.
How should Lotemax Gel be used?
A small amount of gel is usually placed into the lower eyelid pocket up to four times daily. Patients should be instructed not to touch the tip of the tube to the eye and to avoid using contact lenses during treatment unless advised otherwise.
Are there any precautions with Lotemax Gel?
Yes, prolonged use can still lead to elevated intraocular pressure, even though the risk is lower. Patients should be monitored regularly, especially those with a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
What side effects are possible with Lotemax Gel?
Mild eye irritation, blurred vision, or a feeling of dryness may occur. Serious side effects like signs of an eye infection or vision changes should be addressed immediately with your doctor.
