Description

Difluprednate is a corticosteroid that is thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins. which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid.

Warning & Precautions

For ophthalmic use only.

If this product is used for 10 days or longer, intraocular pressure should be monitored.

Fungal infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop coincidentally with the long-term use of steroids topically.

Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in glaucoma with damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity & visual field, and in posterior subcapsular cataract formation.

The use of corticosteroid medication in the treatment of patients with a history of herpes simplex requires great caution.
