1. What is NOLOK and what it is used for
NOLOK is an eye drop, suspension.
NOLOK is used to treat post-operative inflammation of the eye.
Sometimes the eye can become inflamed (red and painful). Loteprednol Etabonate belongs to a
class 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 area
of application.
2. What you need to know before you use NOLOK
Do not use NOLOK:
- 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
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using NOLOK.
Tell your doctor if you suffer from glaucoma.
Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
Tell your doctor if you develop pain, or if redness, itching or inflammation worsen.
Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve within the first two days. They may want to re-examine
your condition.
You should not use NOLOK for a period longer than ten days, unless after checking your eye pressure
by your doctor.
Long-term use of NOLOK 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 NOLOK 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 NOLOK 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
“NOLOK in 5 ml bottle contains benzalkonium chloride”).
Other medicines and NOLOK
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including
medicines obtained 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. Some medicines can increase the effects of NOLOK and your doctor may want to monitor you closely if you are taking these medicines (including some medicines for the treatment of HIV: ritonavir, cobicistat).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
with breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
It is possible that you will still be prescribed NOLOK, but it is also possible that an alternative will be used.
NOLOK should not be used during breastfeeding.
Driving and operating machinery
The eye drops may blur your vision. This usually passes quickly. Do not drive or operate
machinery until your vision returns to normal.
NOLOK in 5 ml bottle contains Benzalkonium chloride.
This medicine, in the “5 ml bottle” pack, contains 0.1 mg of benzalkonium chloride per 1 ml.
Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and can lead to a change in
their color. Remove contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes before
reapplying them. Benzalkonium chloride can also cause irritation to the eyes, especially if you have dry eyes
or corneal disorders (the transparent outermost layer of the eye). If you experience an abnormal
sensation in your eye, burning or pain after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
