You should use Lotemax gel exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, you will apply a small amount of the gel to the affected eye(s) 4 times per day. The Gel should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional.
Here are the general steps on how to use Lotemax Gel:
- Wash your hands before handling the medication.
- Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Turn the closed bottle upside-down and shake once to fill the bottle tip with gel.
- Squeeze the prescribed number of drops (usually 1 to 2) into the pocket made by your lower eyelid.
- Gently close your eyes and press your finger against the corner of your eye (the side closest to your nose) for about one minute to prevent the medication from draining out.
- Repeat steps 2 through 5 for your other eye if instructed to do so.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for using Lotemax Gel, as the dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on your specific condition. If you have any questions or concerns about using this medication, you should consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
