AFM Ophthalmic Suspension 0.10% contains Fluorometholone Acetate, a corticosteroid eye medication used to treat steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye. It helps reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort associated with allergic reactions, eye injuries, and certain postoperative conditions.

Inflammation of the eye can occur due to allergies, surgery, trauma, or various non-infectious eye disorders. AFM Ophthalmic Suspension works by suppressing the body's inflammatory response, providing effective relief from symptoms while promoting recovery. It should only be used under the supervision of an ophthalmologist or qualified healthcare professional, as prolonged or inappropriate use may increase the risk of complications such as elevated intraocular pressure or secondary eye infections.
