Optipred 1% Eye Drops 5ml is a prescription ophthalmic corticosteroid containing prednisolone acetate 1%, used to relieve eye inflammation, redness, swelling and irritation. Manufactured by Jamjoom Pharma, this sterile ophthalmic suspension treats steroid-responsive inflammation of the conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the eye, including post-surgery recovery, allergic reactions and inflammation caused by chemicals, heat, radiation or foreign objects in the eye.
How It Works
Prednisolone acetate is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the migration of inflammatory cells and reversing increased capillary permeability in the eye tissues. By calming the immune response in the affected area, Optipred relieves the pain, redness, burning and swelling associated with steroid-responsive eye conditions. Direct application to the eye delivers rapid local action with minimal systemic absorption.
Important Information
This is a prescription-only medicine. Always consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant (Pregnancy Category C), breastfeeding, or have a viral, fungal or mycobacterial eye infection. Prolonged use may raise intraocular pressure (IOP) and increase the risk of glaucoma, cataracts or optic nerve damage, so regular IOP monitoring is advised. Do not wear contact lenses during treatment. Avoid driving immediately after use as Optipred may cause temporary blurred vision. Store below 30 degrees Celsius and discard 28 days after opening.
