1. What is LOTEMAX and what is it used for
Lotemax is an eye drop, suspension.
Lotemax is used to treat post-operative inflammation of the eye.
Sometimes the eye can become inflamed (red and painful). Loteprednolol
etabonate belongs to a category of drugs called corticosteroids. It works by reducing
inflammation and relieving symptoms. Since it is used in small doses
directly on the affected area, its action is limited to the application site.
2. What you need to know before you use LOTEMAX
Do not use LOTEMAX:
- if you are allergic to the active ingredient (loteprednol etabonate) or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you have been allergic to any corticosteroid.
- if you suffer from eye diseases caused by viruses, such as herpes simplex, vaccination rash and chickenpox.
- if you suffer from eye diseases caused by mycobacteria or fungi.
- if you are breastfeeding.
Warnings and precautions
Tell your doctor if you suffer from glaucoma.
Tell your doctor if pain develops, or if the redness, itching or inflammation
worsens.
Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve within the first two days. They may
want to recheck your condition.
You must not use Lotemax for a period longer than ten days, unless after
checking your eye pressure by your doctor.
Long-term use of Lotemax or other eye drops containing steroids can cause
glaucoma or increase eye pressure, with damage to the optic nerve,
vision problems and cataracts.
Long-term use of Lotemax or other eye drops containing steroids can decrease
resistance to infections and increase the chances of contracting eye infections, including
herpes simplex.
The use of steroid eye drops such as Lotemax can worsen and prolong the duration of
viral eye diseases.
Contact lenses
The use of contact lenses after cataract surgery is not recommended. If you normally
wear contact lenses, your doctor will recommend the use of glasses for a certain
period of time following cataract surgery. This is to allow your eyes
to heal after surgery. Your doctor will tell you when you can start wearing
contact lenses again (see also “Lotemax contains benzalkonium chloride”).
Other medicines and Lotemax
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any
other medicines, including those available without a prescription. In particular, tell your doctor if
you use:
- .
- medicines known as anticholinergics (used to treat various conditions such as abdominal cramps, muscle spasms, urge incontinence or asthma),.
- eye drops used to treat high pressure inside the eye.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you suspect or are
planning a pregnancy, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using
this medicine.
It is possible that you will still be prescribed Lotemax, but it is also possible that an alternative will be used.
Lotemax must not be used during breastfeeding.
Driving and using machines
The eye drops may blur your vision. This usually passes quickly. Do not drive and do not
use machines until your vision has returned to normal.
Lotemax contains benzalkonium chloride.
The preservative Benzalkonium chloride can cause eye irritation.
Avoid contact with soft contact lenses.
Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes
before re-applying them. Benzalkonium chloride is known to discolor soft contact
lenses.
