Prednisolone Acetate

What it’s used for

INDICATIONS AND USAGE PRED FORTE ® is indicated for the treatment of steroid-responsive inflammation of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe.

How to take it

Shake well before using. Instill one to two drops into the conjunctival sac two to four times daily.

Important warnings

Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in posterior subcapsular cataract formation and may increase intraocular pressure in susceptible individuals, resulting in glaucoma with damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and fields of vision. Prolonged use may also suppress the host immune response and thus increase the hazard of secondary ocular infections.

Common side effects

The following adverse reactions have been identified during use of PRED FORTE ® . Because reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

If pregnant or breastfeeding

Pregnancy Prednisolone has been shown to be teratogenic in mice when given in doses 1-10 times the human dose.
