Cortisol Suspension 1% contains Prednisolone Acetate, a corticosteroid ophthalmic suspension used to treat inflammation of the eye caused by allergies, injury, surgery, or certain inflammatory eye diseases. It helps reduce redness, swelling, pain, and irritation by suppressing the body's inflammatory response.

Prednisolone Acetate is widely prescribed by ophthalmologists to manage steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment of the eye. It is commonly used following eye surgery to reduce postoperative inflammation and promote healing. Cortisol Suspension should only be used under the supervision of an eye care specialist, as prolonged or inappropriate use may increase the risk of serious eye complications.

How Cortisol Suspension Works

Its therapeutic effects include:

• Reducing redness and swelling

• Decreasing inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva
• Promoting recovery after ocular surgery or injury
• Preventing tissue damage caused by excessive inflammation

Dosage and Administration
