DESCRIPTION Prednisolone Acetate 1% Ophthalmic Suspension is useful in treating inflammation of the external parts of the eye.
Key Benefits:
Prednisolone Acetate delivers 3 to 5 times the anti-inflammatory potency of Hydrocortisone. This glucocorticoid drug works to inhibit phagocytic migration, edema, fibrin deposition, and capillary dilation, which contribute to an inflammatory response. It also works to prevent capillary proliferation, deposition of collagen, and the formation of scars.
Formulated For: Intended for horses, cats and dogs only.
How is Medication Given?
Do not prematurely withdraw use. Increase frequency as needed for the first 24-48 hours of treatment. Instill 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye(s) 2 to 4 times each day. Apply to the conjunctival sac. Shake thoroughly prior to use.
What Results Can I Expect: Prednisolone Acetate is used to treat inflammation and painassociated with infection, surgery, or injury. It offers a convenient, easy-to-use dropper bottle top.
