Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop

Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop is a prescription eye medicine that contains 0.2% loteprednol etabonate in each drop. It belongs to the corticosteroid class and is used to help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation in the eye caused by inflammation. Doctors may prescribe Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop for certain inflammatory eye conditions when a steroid eye drop is appropriate. This product is the 0.2% strength in eye drop form from Indoco Remedies, packaged as a strip/box of 10 eye drops.

How it works: Loteprednol etabonate is a corticosteroid that calms the eye’s inflammatory response. As an eye drop, Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop helps decrease the chemicals that cause redness, swelling, and discomfort on the eye surface.

Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop is the lower-strength eye drop option compared with Lotechek LS 1 mL Eye Drop, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a milder loteprednol etabonate exposure. It is meant for patients who have been assessed and need steroid treatment for eye inflammation, but not necessarily a stronger formulation. Your doctor may prefer this strength to balance symptom relief with a lower steroid load.

• Eye inflammation
• Redness in the eye
• Swelling of the eye surface
• Allergic or irritative eye inflammation when prescribed
• Steroid-responsive eye conditions
• Post-procedure eye inflammation when directed by a doctor

• Use only in the eye as directed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before using Lotechek LS 0.2% 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.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Replace the cap tightly after use and follow the exact schedule your doctor gives you.

Lotechek LS 0.2% Eye Drop provides loteprednol etabonate 0.2% in each drop, and the exact dose depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions. It may be used several times a day at first, but the maximum daily use and treatment length should be decided by the prescriber for this specific strength. Do not increase the frequency on your own, because steroid eye drops can cause problems if overused.

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