Do not use in viral (e.g., herpes simplex), fungal, or mycobacterial eye infections unless prescribed. Prolonged steroid use may increase intraocular pressure, cause glaucoma/cataract, delay wound healing, and increase risk of secondary infection; follow duration strictly. Seek urgent care for severe eye pain, vision changes, swelling, rash, or worsening symptoms. Use caution in patients with glaucoma; monitoring may be needed. Not for injection; avoid sharing the bottle.
