How Zylopred Eye Drops works
Prednisolone acetate is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and reducing capillary permeability. This decreases redness, swelling, pain and irritation in the eye.
How to take Zylopred Eye Drops
For ophthalmic use only. Shake well before use (suspension). Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) as directed by the doctor. Wash hands, avoid touching the dropper tip, and keep eyes closed for 1–2 minutes after instillation; apply nasolacrimal occlusion if advised. If using other eye medicines, keep a 10–15 minute gap. Do not wear contact lenses unless advised.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause weight gain, high blood sugar, bone thinning and suppression of the body's own steroid production when it is taken over a prolonged period. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
