Mechanism of Action

Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5%

Loteprednol Etabonate is a “soft steroid” designed for ophthalmic use. It works by:

• Inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and cytokines

• Reducing redness, swelling, pain, and irritation

• Limiting leukocyte migration and capillary permeability

Its structure allows rapid metabolism after exerting its therapeutic effect, helping reduce the risk of steroid-related side effects when used appropriately.

Tobramycin 0.3%

Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that:

• Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis

• Is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

• Helps eliminate or prevent bacterial infection in ocular tissues

The combination ensures effective inflammation control while protecting the eye from bacterial complications.

Therapeutic Indications

Lacrison T Suspension 0.5% + 0.3% is indicated for:

• Steroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions with bacterial infection

• Post-operative ocular inflammation where infection risk exists

• Bacterial conjunctivitis associated with inflammation

• Blepharoconjunctivitis

• Inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment of the eye

It is especially useful when inflammation and infection coexist or when infection risk is high.

Dosage and Administration

• Lacrison T Suspension should be used strictly as prescribed by an ophthalmologist.

• Shake well before each use to ensure uniform dispersion.

• Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) at intervals advised by the physician.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or surrounding surfaces.

• Contact lenses should be removed before use unless otherwise directed.

The duration and frequency of use depend on the severity of the condition and clinical response.

Safety Information and Precautions

• For ophthalmic use only.

• Prolonged use of corticosteroids may increase intraocular pressure; monitoring is recommended during extended therapy.

• Not recommended for untreated viral, fungal, or mycobacterial eye infections.

• Use with caution in patients with glaucoma or corneal thinning.
