Overview Optipred Eye Drop

Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension, a corticosteroid medication, treats post-surgical ocular inflammation and discomfort. This eye drop also alleviates pain and swelling resulting from eye infections or allergic reactions. Administer as prescribed by your physician; discard if the seal is compromised. Wash hands prior to application and shake well before each use. Remove contact lenses beforehand, reinserting them after at least 15 minutes. Consistent use maximizes therapeutic effect.
