Inflamase Forte (Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate 1.0%)

Route restriction: Not for injection into the eye, topical use only.

Herpes simplex stromal keratitis: Steroid use where the stroma is involved requires great caution, and frequent slit lamp microscopy is mandatory.

IOP elevation and glaucoma: Prolonged use may raise IOP and produce glaucoma, optic nerve damage, and defects in visual acuity and visual fields; check IOP frequently.

Posterior subcapsular cataract: Prolonged use may produce it.

Secondary ocular infection: Prolonged use may aid establishment of secondary ocular infection from pathogens liberated from ocular tissues, and acute purulent untreated infection of the eye may be masked or its activity enhanced.

Corneal or scleral perforation: In diseases causing thinning of the cornea or sclera, perforation has occurred with topical steroids.

Viral, bacterial, and fungal keratitis: All three may be exacerbated by steroid application; suspect fungal invasion in any persistent corneal ulceration where a steroid has been used or is in use.

Mustard gas keratitis and Sjogren keratoconjunctivitis: Not effective in either.

Persistent irritation: Discontinue if irritation persists or develops.
