How P-Lone Works

Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate is a synthetic corticosteroid that, when applied topically to the eye, works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that make the eye red, swollen, and itchy. When the eye is irritated by infection or allergy, the body releases these inflammatory signals, which widen blood vessels and draw immune cells into the affected tissue, producing the visible redness, swelling, and discomfort. Prednisolone interrupts this chain of events, reducing inflammatory mediators and limiting immune cell migration into the eye, which helps bring down redness, swelling, and itchiness and supports a more comfortable recovery. The added Methylcellulose helps the solution spread evenly and remain on the eye surface longer, while Benzalkonium Chloride keeps the multi-dose bottle free of microbial contamination between uses.
