Prednisone acetate eye drops precautions

1. It has been reported that topical application of corticosteroids to corneal thinning can cause corneal perforation. Many different diseases and long-term use of corticosteroids have been thought to cause thinning of the cornea or sclera. When the cornea or sclera has become thin, topical application of corticosteroids to the eye may cause eyeball perforation.
2. This product has no antibacterial effect, so when there is an infection, it is necessary to perform appropriate antibacterial treatment for pathogenic bacteria.
3. Topical application of steroids during acute eye purulent infections can mask or worsen the condition. Long-term application can suppress the eye's immune response, thereby increasing the possibility of secondary eye infections.
4. Patients with herpes simplex virus keratitis and history must be careful with steroids and frequently observe changes in lesions under a slit lamp.
5. It has been reported that corneal fungal infections occur during long-term use of steroids. Therefore, any irreversible corneal ulcers appear after using steroids or while they are being used. The possibility of fungal infections should be suspected.
6. The use of corticosteroids in the eyes can cause increased intraocular pressure in some cases, and increased intraocular pressure may cause glaucoma, causing optic nerve damage and visual field defects. Therefore, it is recommended to measure the intraocular pressure during the use of this drug, especially for patients who are suffering from glaucoma or patients who have had glaucoma.
7. It has been reported that long-term or high-dose corticosteroids can cause subcapsular cataract formation. Sensitive patients may develop acute anterior segment uveitis. The use of steroids after cataract surgery may delay healing and increase the incidence of follicles. If there is an allergic reaction or other serious reactions, discontinue this product immediately. Cross-sensitivity occurs between corticosteroids.
8. Use with caution by athletes.

Prednisolone acetate eye drops pharmacology and toxicology

Pharmacological effects: Prednisolone acetate is a glucocorticosteroid. At the same dose, its anti-inflammatory effect is 3 to 5 times that of hydrocortisone. Glucocorticoids can reduce tissue edema and fibrous deposition during inflammation, inhibit capillary dilatation and migration of phagocytes, and also inhibit capillary proliferation, collagen deposition and scar formation.
Toxicology study: Prednisone acetate eye drops in rabbit eyes showed no toxicity, irritation, or any symptoms of discomfort. The same is true of clinical validation.
Administration of corticosteroids during an animal's pregnancy may cause abnormal fetal development, including palate cleft and intrauterine growth retardation. The human fetus is unlikely to develop this defect.
