FML (active ingredient: fluorometholone) is a prescription corticosteroid eye medication used to treat inflammation and swelling of the eye. It helps relieve symptoms caused by inflammatory eye conditions and supports the healing process.

FML is approved for the treatment of steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye, including:

  • Allergic conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membrane covering the white part of the eye caused by allergies).
  • Keratitis (inflammation of the cornea).
  • Iritis (inflammation of the colored part of the eye, known as the iris).
  • Uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea).
  • Other inflammatory eye conditions that respond to corticosteroid treatment.

People with these conditions may experience symptoms such as:

  • Eye redness.
  • Swelling.
  • Eye pain or discomfort.
  • Itching.
  • Sensitivity to light.
  • Excessive tearing.
  • Blurred vision caused by inflammation.

By reducing inflammation, FML helps relieve these symptoms and promotes healing of the affected eye.

How Does FML Work?

FML belongs to a group of medications called corticosteroids.

It works by reducing the release of substances in the body that trigger inflammation and immune system activity in the eye. As inflammation decreases, symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and irritation gradually improve.

FML may help:

  • Reduce eye inflammation and swelling.
  • Relieve redness and irritation.
  • Decrease eye pain and discomfort.
  • Improve light sensitivity.
  • Support healing in steroid-responsive eye conditions.

Because FML suppresses inflammation rather than treating the underlying cause of an infection, it should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. If an eye infection is present or suspected, additional treatment may be needed.

Use FML exactly as prescribed and continue treatment for the full duration recommended by your healthcare provider, even if your symptoms begin to improve.

FML is an ophthalmic (eye) suspension that should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Before using the eye drops, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is evenly mixed.

To apply the drops:

  1. Tilt your head back slightly.
  2. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  3. Hold the dropper above your eye, being careful not to let the tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface, as this may contaminate the medication.
  4. Place the prescribed number of drops into the pocket created by your lower eyelid.
  5. Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes. Avoid blinking or rubbing your eye.
  6. Apply gentle pressure with a finger to the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) for about 1 minute. This helps keep the medication in the eye and reduces the amount absorbed into the rest of your body.
  7. If you need to treat the other eye, repeat these steps.
  8. Replace the cap tightly after each use.

If you use other eye medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying another eye drop, unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise.

Recommended Dosage

The usual recommended dose of FML is 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) four times daily.

If your eye inflammation is severe, your healthcare provider may recommend increasing the dose to 2 drops every 2 hours during the first 24 to 48 hours. As your symptoms improve, the dose is usually reduced gradually.

Always use FML exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not use more or less than the recommended dose, and do not stop treatment without consulting your healthcare provider, even if your symptoms begin to improve.

Serious Side Effects of FML (Fluoromethalone):

Before using FML, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, including any eye conditions, allergies, and all medications you are taking. This helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.

Increased Eye Pressure and Cataracts

Using FML for a prolonged period may increase the pressure inside your eye (intraocular pressure), which can increase the risk of glaucoma, optic nerve damage, and vision loss. Long-term use may also increase the risk of developing cataracts.

If you need to use FML for an extended period, your healthcare provider may perform regular eye examinations to monitor your eye pressure and overall eye health.

Increased Risk of Eye Infections

Because FML is a corticosteroid, it can reduce your eye’s ability to fight infections and may increase the risk of developing new infections or worsen existing ones. It may also slow the healing of eye injuries.

Do not use FML if you have an untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal eye infection, unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, worsen, or if you develop new eye pain, redness, swelling, or discharge.

Temporary Blurred Vision

After applying FML, you may experience temporary blurred vision.

Until your vision becomes clear, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require clear vision.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use FML if you are allergic to fluorometholone or any of the other ingredients in the medication.

Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, including:

  • Rash or hives.
  • Severe itching.
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Drug Interactions

Before using FML, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal products, and dietary supplements you are taking.

Some medications may interact with FML or affect your eye health. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can check for potential drug interactions before you begin treatment.

Before Surgery

If you are scheduled for eye surgery, dental surgery, or any other medical procedure, tell your healthcare provider or dentist that you are using FML.

Also, provide a complete list of all the medications and supplements you are taking, as this information may affect your treatment before, during, or after surgery.

Use Only as Directed

Always follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Do not use FML more often or for longer than prescribed, as this may increase the risk of serious eye-related side effects.

Is it safe to use FML during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before using FML. The safety of FML during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Your healthcare provider will carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before recommending this medication. Do not use FML during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless your healthcare provider advises you to do so.

Can I use other medications while using FML?

Yes, but you should tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking before starting FML. Some medications, including other eye drops or eye ointments, may interact with FML or affect your treatment. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can check for potential drug interactions and advise you on the proper timing if you need to use more than one eye medication.

How long does FML take to work?

FML usually begins to reduce eye inflammation within a few hours after it is applied. However, it may take several days of regular use before you notice the full benefits of treatment. Continue using the medication exactly as prescribed, even if your symptoms do not improve right away.

What should I do if FML does not seem to be working?

If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, become worse, or you develop new symptoms such as increased eye pain, redness, swelling, discharge, or changes in vision, contact your healthcare provider promptly. They can evaluate your condition and determine whether you need a different treatment or further testing.

Is FML habit-forming?

No. FML is not habit-forming and does not cause physical or psychological dependence. However, it should only be used for the length of time prescribed by your healthcare provider, as prolonged use may increase the risk of eye-related side effects such as glaucoma or cataracts.
