Flarex contains fluorometholone acetate, a corticosteroid medication used in the eyes. It is prescribed to treat inflammation affecting the front part of the eye, especially when the condition is expected to respond to steroid treatment.
Flarex does not treat every cause of eye redness or discomfort, so it should only be used when prescribed by an eye care professional.
Ocular inflammation means that tissues in or around the eye have become irritated, swollen, or inflamed.
This can cause symptoms such as redness, pain, burning, itching, swelling, blurred vision, tearing, or sensitivity to light.
Flarex helps calm this inflammatory response.
Allergic conjunctivitis happens when the eyes react to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, or other triggers.
Symptoms may include itching, redness, watering, swelling, and irritation.
Flarex may be prescribed when inflammation is significant and a corticosteroid is appropriate.
Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea, the clear layer covering the front of the eye.
It can cause symptoms such as eye pain, redness, blurred vision, tearing, or sensitivity to light.
Because keratitis can have different causes, including infection, Flarex should only be used after your healthcare provider has determined that steroid treatment is suitable.
Iritis is inflammation of the iris, the colored part of the eye.
It may cause eye pain, redness, blurred vision, and strong sensitivity to light.
Flarex helps reduce the inflammation that contributes to these symptoms.
Flarex may also be used for other steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions affecting the anterior segment, or front portion, of the eye.
Your healthcare provider will determine whether your eye condition is likely to benefit from corticosteroid treatment.
Flarex belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids.
Fluorometholone acetate works by reducing the production and activity of chemicals involved in the body’s inflammatory response.
When eye tissues become inflamed, the immune system releases substances that can cause redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort.
Flarex suppresses this inflammatory activity, helping the tissues become less swollen, less red, and less irritated.
By reducing inflammation, Flarex may help relieve symptoms such as eye redness, swelling, pain, itching, irritation, and sensitivity to light.
The amount of improvement and how quickly it occurs can vary depending on the cause and severity of the inflammation.
Corticosteroid eye drops can sometimes raise pressure inside the eye, delay healing, or make certain infections worse.
For this reason, Flarex should be used only as prescribed and for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider.
Flarex does not directly kill bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
If your eye symptoms are caused by an infection, additional treatment may be needed. Using a steroid without proper evaluation can sometimes hide infection symptoms or allow an infection to worsen.
Flarex may begin reducing inflammation after treatment starts, but improvement can be gradual.
Continue using it exactly as directed. If your symptoms become worse, your vision changes significantly, or your eye becomes more painful, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
Flarex is an ophthalmic suspension that is placed directly into the affected eye or eyes. Use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
A common dose is 1 to 2 drops into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) four times daily. During the first 24 to 48 hours, your healthcare provider may temporarily increase how often you use the drops if the inflammation is more severe.
Because Flarex is a suspension, shake the bottle thoroughly before each use.
This helps evenly distribute the medication so that each drop contains the proper amount of fluorometholone acetate.
Before using Flarex, wash your hands carefully with soap and water.
Clean hands help reduce the chance of introducing bacteria or other contaminants into the eye.
Tilt your head back and look upward.
Gently pull your lower eyelid downward with one finger to create a small pocket between the lower eyelid and the eye. This area is called the conjunctival sac.
Hold the bottle above your eye with the tip pointing downward.
Place the prescribed number of drops into the lower eyelid pocket. Try not to blink while the drop is being applied.
Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, eyelashes, fingers, or any other surface.
Touching the dropper tip can contaminate the medication with bacteria.
Contaminated eye drops may increase the risk of an eye infection, so keep the tip clean and replace the cap immediately after each use.
After applying the medication, gently close your eye.
Avoid squeezing your eyelids tightly or blinking repeatedly, as this may push some of the medication out of the eye.
You may gently press the inner corner of your eye near the nose for about a minute after applying the drops.
This technique can help keep more of the medication in the eye and reduce the amount that drains into the nose and throat.
If any medication runs onto your cheek, gently wipe it away with a clean tissue.
Avoid rubbing your eye after using the drops.
If your healthcare provider has prescribed Flarex for both eyes, repeat the same steps for the second eye.
Be careful not to touch either eye with the dropper tip.
If you use more than one type of eye medication, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist how long to wait between products.
Spacing eye drops apart helps prevent one medication from washing another one out of the eye.
Ask your healthcare provider whether you should wear contact lenses while using Flarex.
Contact lenses are often avoided while the eye is inflamed. They may also interfere with treatment or worsen irritation.
If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for the missed dose.
Using Flarex more often or for longer than directed can increase the risk of steroid-related eye problems.
These may include increased pressure inside the eye, delayed healing, or a greater risk of infection.
If Flarex has been used for a longer period, your healthcare provider may want to reduce the dose gradually.
Do not suddenly stop treatment or change how often you use the drops unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Flarex can begin reducing inflammation after treatment starts, but the amount of improvement depends on the condition being treated.
If your symptoms do not begin to improve within a few days, or if they become worse, contact your healthcare provider.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop increasing eye pain, worsening redness, swelling, discharge, significant vision changes, or severe sensitivity to light.
These symptoms may mean that the inflammation is getting worse or that another eye problem, such as an infection, is present.
Flarex is an eye drop suspension, so the dose is measured in drops.
Instructions such as applying a ½-inch ribbon apply to certain ophthalmic ointments and do not apply to Flarex suspension.
Flarex (Fluorometholone Acetate) is available in the following forms and strength:
Long-term use of Flarex can increase the pressure inside the eye. Over time, this may raise the risk of glaucoma, changes in the visual field, or damage to the optic nerve.
If you use Flarex for more than about 10 days, your healthcare provider may recommend regular eye exams and pressure checks.
Corticosteroid eye drops such as Flarex can slow healing of the cornea.
People with conditions that cause thinning of the cornea or sclera may have a higher risk of serious complications, including tissue perforation, especially with prolonged steroid use.
Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface.
Touching the tip can contaminate the medication and may increase the risk of eye infection.
Flarex may cause temporary blurred vision after application.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal.
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule. Do not use two doses at the same time.
If you use Flarex for an extended period, your healthcare provider may recommend regular vision tests and eye pressure checks.
These exams help detect steroid-related eye problems early.
Do not share Flarex with another person, even if they have similar eye symptoms.
Eye redness or irritation can have many different causes, and sharing eye drops can also spread infection.
Do not stop Flarex suddenly if you have been using it for an extended period unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Your dose may need to be reduced gradually to prevent the inflammation from returning or becoming worse.
Use Flarex exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Wash your hands before applying the eye drops, shake the bottle well, and place the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye or eyes. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any other surface. Wash your hands again after use if needed.
Flarex may be used in children only under the direction of a healthcare provider. Your child’s healthcare provider will decide whether the medication is appropriate and determine the correct dose and length of treatment.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using Flarex. Your healthcare provider will weigh the potential benefits of treatment against any possible risks before recommending the medication.
The time it takes for Flarex to reduce inflammation can vary depending on the severity and cause of the eye condition. Some people may notice improvement within a few days. If your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or you develop increasing eye pain or vision changes, contact your healthcare provider.
No. Flarex is intended for use in the eyes only. Do not apply it to the skin, ears, mouth, or other parts of the body unless you have been prescribed a different formulation specifically for that area.
