Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop

Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop contains difluprednate, a corticosteroid eye medicine used to reduce inflammation in the eye. Each Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop container holds 5 mL of sterile ophthalmic solution for use as directed by a clinician. It is prescribed for inflammatory eye conditions and for swelling and irritation after certain eye surgeries. Because it is a steroid eye drop, it helps calm immune-related inflammation rather than treating an infection.

How it works: Difluprednate is a corticosteroid that works by lowering the chemicals in the eye that cause redness, swelling, and pain. As an eye drop, Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the affected eye so it can act where the inflammation is.

The 5 mL size is a practical single-bottle supply for people who need a prescribed course of difluprednate eye drops and want enough medicine for regular use without an extra-large pack. Since there are no other strengths or forms of Flupred listed here, this product fits standard ophthalmic dosing as directed by the doctor; the number of drops and duration are based on the eye condition, not on the bottle size.

• Eye inflammation
• Eye redness and swelling
• Pain and irritation after eye surgery
• Noninfectious allergic or inflammatory eye conditions

• Wash your hands before using Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after each drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Remove contact lenses before use and ask your prescriber when you can put them back in.

Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop is a 5 mL bottle, not a fixed dose per drop; the dose is measured by the number of drops your doctor prescribes. It may be used several times a day at first and then tapered down, but the exact schedule and the maximum number of drops per day must be decided by your doctor based on your eye condition.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Difluprednate may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging
• Blurred vision right after use
• Eye irritation or dryness
• Headache
• Watery eyes
• Foreign-body sensation in the eye
• Higher chance of irritation if used too often or longer than prescribed

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow or inject Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Do not use if you have an untreated eye infection unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Longer use can raise eye pressure and may damage the optic nerve, so follow-up eye exams are important.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, cataracts, herpes eye disease, or a history of high eye pressure.
• Use caution if you wear contact lenses; preservatives may irritate the eyes.
• Avoid driving or using machinery right after dosing if your vision is blurred.
• Do not stop early or use longer than prescribed, because steroid eye drops can hide or worsen some eye problems.

• Other steroid medicines, including other steroid eye drops or oral steroids
• Other prescription eye drops or ointments, which may need spacing between doses
• Medications that also raise eye pressure, if used together for a long time
• Contact lens solutions or eye products that may irritate the eye when used at the same time

Store Flupred 5 mL Eye Drop at room temperature in the original container, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excessive heat or freezing.
