The active compound, loteprednol etabonate, in Lotemax Gel reduces the production of inflammation-inducing substances within the eye. Its unique action focuses primarily on the affected ocular tissues, minimizing systemic exposure and side effects. This selective presence not only ensures a reduction in inflammation but also minimizes risks typically associated with broader systemic corticosteroid use.

Description

Lotemax Gel contains the active ingredient loteprednol etabonate, a corticosteroid designed specifically for ophthalmic use. This medication is specifically formulated as a gel for treating eye inflammation and pain associated with various eye conditions, including post-operative recovery and chronic diseases affecting the eye. The gel formulation allows for extended contact time with the ocular surface, potentially improving efficacy and comfort.

Additional information

Usage	Indications: ● Post-operative inflammation and pain relief following ocular surgery. ● Chronic conditions like allergic conjunctivitis and uveitis requiring prolonged inflammation control. ● Non-infectious conjunctivitis that responds well to steroid therapy. Patients should: ● Apply Lotemax Gel as directed by a healthcare provider. ● Use the gel typically twice daily, but frequency can be adjusted based on medical advice. ● Ensure not to touch the gel's applicator tip to any surface to avoid contamination. ● Expect noticeable symptom improvement within several days, but continue use as directed to complete the prescribed treatment duration. Administration: To use Lotemax Gel, patients should follow these steps for safe and effective application: ● Wash hands thoroughly before application. ● Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. ● Squeeze a small amount of gel into the pocket without touching the tip to the eye or eyelid. ● Close the eye and roll the eyeball in all directions to spread the gel evenly. ● Keep the eye closed for 1 or 2 minutes after application to help absorption. Precautions: ● Patients with a history of glaucoma should use this medication cautiously due to the potential for increased intraocular pressure. ● Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor intraocular pressure and overall eye health during prolonged use. ● Avoid use during active viral, fungal, or bacterial eye infections unless paired with effective anti-infective treatment. Drug Interactions: ● Using other topical eye medications with Lotemax Gel may require timing adjustments. Administering other eye meds at least 10-15 minutes before or after applying Lotemax Gel is recommended. ● Concomitant use with other corticosteroids can increase the potential for side effects.
Side Effects	● Common: Temporary blurred vision, minor burning, or discomfort immediately after applying. ● Rare but serious: Significant eye pain, vision changes, or signs of new eye infection (increased redness, swelling, or drainage).
Storage	● Store Lotemax Gel at controlled room temperature, between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). ● Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to maintain sterility. ● Do not freeze the gel.
Special Precautions	● Patients must inform their healthcare provider if they use any other eye medication. ● Pregnant and nursing mothers should discuss the potential impacts of the medication with their healthcare provider due to the lack of conclusive studies on its safety in these populations.
Overdose	Symptoms of overdose might include markedly increased intraocular pressure, resulting in optic nerve damage or vision impairment. Treatment involves immediate medical attention to manage elevated intraocular pressure and supportive care.
