Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment (active ingredient: loteprednol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Inflammation: Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment is used to treat inflammation of the eye associated with allergic conjunctivitis, conjunctival surgery, and other ocular inflammatory conditions.
  2. Post-Surgical Inflammation: It is also indicated to manage inflammation and reduce swelling following ocular surgery or injury.

Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids, which work by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response in the affected area.

To use Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment, you should follow the instructions provided by your doctor. In general, the recommended dose of Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment is a 1/2-inch (1.5 centimeter) strip applied to the affected eye(s) four times daily, starting 24 hours after ocular surgery. Here are the general steps for using the ointment:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly before using the ointment.
  2. Tilt your head back and look up.
  3. Use your index finger to pull your lower eyelid down to create a small pocket.
  4. Apply the ointment to the pocket, making sure it does not touch your eye or eyelashes.
  5. Release your eyelid and close your eyes for a few seconds to allow the ointment to spread evenly across your eye.
  6. Repeat the process for your other eye if necessary.
  7. Wash your hands again after using the ointment.

Be careful not to touch the tip of the ointment tube to any surface to avoid contamination. Use Lotemax Ophthalmic Ointment as directed by your doctor to get the best results.
