Effectiveness

How Flo-Pred Affects PatientsPrednisolone acetate is a type of steroid that helps reduce inflammation and has a short-term effect. It can be taken in larger amounts than the body produces naturally, which makes it a safe drug to use. However, patients taking this medication should be aware that it can suppress the body's natural hormone system and make them more vulnerable to infections.
How Flo-Pred works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce swelling and inflammation in the body. They do this by binding to a receptor in your cells and changing how certain genes are expressed. This leads to several different effects, including preventing cells from dying, stopping the formation of molecules that cause swelling, and stopping the activity of proteins that cause inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids help reduce inflammation, while higher doses weaken your immune system. For a long period of time, high doses can also raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels in your body.

When to interrupt dosage

The amount of Flo-Pred is contingent upon the diagnosed malady, including Ocular Infections, Irritations and Inflammations, Ocular Inflammation and Inflammatory Conditions. The measure of dosage fluctuates as per the mode of delivery (e.g. Ophthalmic or Solution / drops - Ophthalmic) mentioned in the table underneath.
