FML Liquifilm Eye Drop

FML Liquifilm Eye Drops

FML Liquifilm (Fluorometholone 0.1%) is a sterile ophthalmic suspension used to treat inflammation of the eye. Fluorometholone is a specialized corticosteroid that effectively reduces the swelling, redness, and itching associated with inflammatory conditions of the conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe. The “Liquifilm” vehicle is a unique lubricating base that helps the medication adhere to the ocular surface, providing enhanced comfort and ensuring the active steroid remains in contact with the eye for a longer duration. FML is often preferred by eye specialists for its effective anti-inflammatory action with a lower risk of increasing intraocular pressure compared to many other topical steroids.

Key Features

• Effectively manages non-infectious inflammatory conditions of the eye.
• Features a specialized vehicle that provides a soothing, lubricating effect upon application.
• Formulated to be gentler on eye pressure than high-potency corticosteroids, making it suitable for specific patient profiles.
• Quickly alleviates discomfort from redness, burning, and ocular swelling.
• Frequently used to manage inflammation following certain ophthalmic procedures or surgeries.

Key Ingredients

• Fluorometholone (0.1% w/v)
• Liquifilm (Polyvinyl Alcohol)
• Benzalkonium Chloride

Precautions

• Always shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure the medication is properly suspended.
• Prolonged use of ocular steroids may result in increased intraocular pressure (IOP) or cataract formation. Use only under strict medical supervision.
• Do not use FML if you have a viral, fungal, or untreated bacterial eye infection, as steroids can mask or worsen these conditions.
• Remove contact lenses before application. The preservative can be absorbed by soft lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye or eyelids, to prevent contamination.

How to Use

• The standard dose is typically one drop into the conjunctival sac 2 to 4 times daily, or as precisely directed by your ophthalmologist.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower lid, and instill the drop. Close your eye and apply gentle pressure to the tear duct for 1 minute.
• During the first 24 to 48 hours, your doctor may suggest a higher frequency (every hour) depending on the severity of inflammation.
• Do not stop using the drops abruptly. Your doctor will provide a schedule to gradually reduce the frequency.
• Store the bottle upright at room temperature. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
