This medication prevents inflammation following cataract surgery and the miosis that occurs during surgery. It also helps prevent cystoid macular edema that can occur during the process of removing the lens and inserting the intraocular lens. Additionally, it is used to treat non-infectious inflammations such as chronic conjunctivitis and inflammation of the anterior segment due to trauma. This drug effectively controls intraocular inflammation, aids in recovery after surgery, and contributes to improving eye health.

Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with an allergy to its components or in patients who have experienced asthma or allergic reactions after using other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin.

Patients with hypersensitivity to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should use this drug with caution. Wound healing may be delayed during use, and occasionally symptoms like nausea or vomiting may occur. Additionally, transient symptoms such as eye irritation, itching, redness, and blurred vision may occur, so caution is advised.

Contact lens wearers should definitely remove their lenses before instilling this medication and may reinsert them after 15 minutes. Blurred vision may occur temporarily after administration, so driving or operating machinery should be avoided until vision becomes clear. This drug can mask the symptoms of eye infections, so it should be used along with appropriate treatment in cases of risk of infection. As it can affect blood coagulation, patients at risk of bleeding or taking medications that may induce bleeding should be cautious. When using with other eye drops, a spacing of at least 5 minutes is recommended to prevent dilution of the medication. This drug contains benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, which can discolor contact lenses or cause eye inflammation. In early and mid-pregnancy, it should only be used at a minimum dose and for the shortest duration necessary. After the sixth month of pregnancy, its use should be avoided. It is advisable to avoid its use during breastfeeding for the safety of the infant.
