Prednisolone is an eye medication commonly used to treat eye inflammation and allergic reactions. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucocorticoids and can reduce swelling, redness, and pain in the eye. When using, please follow the doctor's advice and use it correctly according to the prescription. During use, side effects such as blurred vision, burning sensation or stinging may occur. If serious discomfort occurs, inform your doctor immediately. If prednisolone eye drops are not suitable for use with contact lenses, contact lenses should be removed before use. When storing, keep the medicine away from light and dry. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Directions: Wash your hands before use, gently pull down the lower eyelid, apply the ointment to the lower eyelid bag inside the eye, then close your eyes and gently press your eyes to help distribute the medicine. Avoid contact with eye surface during use. The frequency of daily use is based on the doctor's instructions, usually 1-2 times a day. While you are using this medication, avoid wearing contact lenses.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 1-2 drops per day, and the dose can be adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the doctor's advice. The dosage for children is determined based on age and weight. The usual starting dose is 1 drop per day, and the doctor will adjust the dosage based on the condition. If you feel any discomfort or have any questions during use, please consult a doctor immediately. Please use this medication exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist and do not adjust the dose or stop using it on your own.
PREDNISOLONE (eye drops) may cause eye side effects including blurred vision, eye stinging, redness, dry eyes, and increased sensitivity. Long-term use may cause serious problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, or corneal scarring. If eye redness, increased discharge, pain, or vision changes occur, discontinue use and consult a physician immediately. The dosage and duration of use recommended by your doctor should not be exceeded to avoid exacerbating side effects.

Medication contraindications refer to certain situations in which patients should not use specific medications to avoid possible serious health effects. For PREDNISOLONE (ophthalmic), the following are contraindicated:
1. Patients who have allergic reactions to PREDNISOLONE or other steroids should avoid using this drug, as it may cause severe allergic reactions, including itchy skin, urticaria, and difficulty breathing.
2. If the patient has an eye infection such as conjunctivitis or keratitis, the use of PREDNISOLONE eye drops should be avoided because steroids may worsen the infection and increase the difficulty of treatment.
3. Patients with glaucoma should consult a doctor before using PREDNISOLONE eye drops, because steroids may increase intraocular pressure and aggravate glaucoma symptoms.
In general, situations in which PREDNISOLONE (ophthalmic) should be avoided include those with allergies to the drug, eye infections, or glaucoma. Before using any medicine, patients should read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safe and effective treatment.
