Effectiveness
How Omnipred Affects PatientsPrednisolone acetate works by blocking certain signals in the body that cause inflammation. Its effects only last for a few hours, but patients may take multiple doses of this drug. Taking this drug can interfere with the normal activity of the hormones that control inflammation, which may make people more prone to infections. Patients should be aware of this potential side effect.
How Omnipred works in the bodyCorticosteroids decrease inflammation by reducing blood vessel enlargement and preventing white blood cells from travelling to the site of inflammation. When they bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, they cause changes in genes which have downstream effects over time. These changes include stopping neutrophil cell death, reducing the production of inflammatory compounds, and increasing anti-inflammatory molecules like interleukin-10. Low doses of corticosteroids reduce inflammation, while higher doses have an immunosuppressive effect. When taken for a long time, corticosteroids also bind to a different receptor, which causes an increase in sodium and a decrease

Omnipred Reviews: What are patients saying about Omnipred?
3Patient Review
8/15/2010 I had cataract surgery two days ago and my doctor prescribed Omnipred. The problem is that every time I use it, the burning sensation is unbearable (like pouring lemon juice on a paper cut). Is this normal? How long will it last?

10/23/20081.3Patient Review
6/26/2010 I used this a few days before surgery and for a couple weeks after to prevent infection. It seemed effective, but I noticed a side effect of weight gain that was difficult to lose. Has anyone else experienced this?
