Zylopred Eye Drops

Zylopred Eye Drops contains Prednisolone acetate 1% w/v ophthalmic suspension. Prescription required.

Steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye such as allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis/iritis, keratitis, postoperative ocular inflammation (as prescribed)

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.

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.

Transient burning/stinging, blurred vision, eye irritation, increased intraocular pressure, headache, dry eye, redness, watering

Use only under ophthalmologist supervision. Prolonged use may increase intraocular pressure (glaucoma), cause cataract, delay wound healing, and increase risk of secondary bacterial/fungal/viral eye infections (including reactivation of herpes simplex). Do not use in untreated eye infections (e.g., fungal, viral such as herpes simplex epithelial keratitis) unless specifically prescribed. Seek care if eye pain, worsening redness, vision changes, or no improvement. Use caution in glaucoma, history of herpes simplex, and after eye surgery. Do not stop abruptly if used for a prolonged period—taper as advised.

Other ophthalmic drugs (separate by 10–15 min), concomitant topical NSAIDs may increase risk of delayed corneal healing; systemic CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir/cobicistat) may increase corticosteroid effects (rare with ophthalmic use)

Store below 25°C, protect from light, do not freeze. Keep bottle tightly closed. Discard within 4 weeks of opening or as per label.
