Effectiveness

How Fml Forte Affects PatientsCorticosteroids like fluorometholone help to reduce inflammation. They can also slow down the healing process by preventing swelling, blood clotting, widening of blood vessels, white blood cell movement, new blood vessel growth, collagen production, and scarring.
How Fml Forte works in the bodyOcular corticosteroids are thought to work by blocking inflammation-causing molecules from being produced. They do this by stopping the release of arachidonic acid, which is the precursor molecule for these inflammation-causing molecules. Corticosteroids also bind to the cell's glucocorticoid receptor, which then moves into the nucleus of the cell. There, it binds to target genes, causing them to increase expression and ultimately blocking inflammation.

The dosage of Fml Forte is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Anterior chamber inflammation, eye surgery and Ocular Inflammation. The quantity likewise fluctuates as per the approach of delivery (e.g. Ointment - Ophthalmic or Suspension - Ophthalmic) specified in the table below.

Fml Forte Reviews: What are patients saying about Fml Forte?

5Patient Review
5/1/2016
Fml Forte for Inflammation of the Eye Following Surgery
I had a DALK (Depp Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty) done to one of my eyes. FML was prescribed along with Refresh Liquigel. I have never had any issues with it. It helped me through the most painful period right after surgery and I was asked to use it for 6 months. My vision has drastically improved, which means that I didn't have any negative effects due to this drug.

Fml Forte for Allergic Conjunctivitis
I followed the instructions and used these drops four times a day for a month after my eye surgery. They didn't burn, which was great. I don't know if the treatment is supposed to last a month though, since I had severe myopia before (which is stated in the precautions). Either way, I'm going to stop early because my eyes feel and look great.

Fml Forte for Inflammation of the Eye Following Surgery
I was originally prescribed this medication for excessive tearing, which I believe was caused by tear duct plugs that were inserted by the same doctor. However, after doing some research on the long-term complications and lack of results, I decided to stop taking the medication.
