Pred Forte (active ingredient: prednisolone acetate) is a prescription eye drop used to treat inflammation in the eye.

It may be prescribed for several inflammatory eye conditions, including allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis, and iritis.

Allergic Conjunctivitis

Pred Forte may be used in certain cases of severe eye inflammation caused by allergies.

Symptoms may include:

  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Swelling
  • Watery eyes
  • Eye discomfort

Because Pred Forte is a corticosteroid, it is usually reserved for cases where stronger anti-inflammatory treatment is needed.

Uveitis and Iritis

Pred Forte may also be used to treat uveitis and iritis, which involve inflammation inside the eye.

These conditions can cause symptoms such as:

  • Eye pain
  • Redness
  • Light sensitivity
  • Blurred vision
  • Reduced vision

Prompt treatment is important because ongoing inflammation can sometimes damage the eye.

How Pred Forte Works

Pred Forte belongs to a group of medications called corticosteroids.

Prednisolone works by reducing the activity of the immune system and lowering the production of substances that cause inflammation.

This helps reduce:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Irritation

Other signs of eye inflammation

Important Treatment Note

Pred Forte helps control inflammation, but it does not treat every cause of red or irritated eyes.

Eye infections can sometimes become worse when corticosteroid eye drops are used incorrectly. For this reason, use Pred Forte only as prescribed and attend follow-up eye examinations as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Pred Forte is a prescription eye drop used to reduce inflammation in the eye.

It usually comes as a 1% ophthalmic suspension.

Use Pred Forte exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor or healthcare provider. The number of drops and how often you use them will depend on your eye condition and how you respond to treatment.

Shake the Bottle Well

Pred Forte is a suspension, so the medication can settle at the bottom of the bottle.

Shake the bottle well before each use to make sure the medication is evenly mixed.

Wash Your Hands

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the eye drops.

Avoid touching the dropper tip with your fingers or any other surface.

How to Apply Pred Forte

Follow these general steps:

  1. Shake the bottle well.
  2. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  3. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  4. Hold the bottle above your eye with the dropper pointing downward.
  5. Place the prescribed number of drops into the lower eyelid pocket.
  6. Close your eye gently after applying the medication.
  7. Keep your eye closed for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. If both eyes require treatment, repeat the same steps for the other eye.

Avoid Touching the Dropper Tip

Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, eyelashes, fingers, or other surfaces.

This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Replace the cap securely after each use.

Using Pred Forte With Other Eye Drops

If you use other eye drops or eye medications, do not apply them at exactly the same time.

Wait at least 5 minutes between different eye drops, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions. This helps prevent one medication from washing another out of the eye.

If you use both eye drops and an eye ointment, apply the eye drops first and use the ointment last.

Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are unsure about the correct order or timing of your eye medications.

Use Pred Forte Exactly as Prescribed

Do not use more drops or apply the medication more often than recommended.

If you have been using Pred Forte for an extended period, do not suddenly stop treatment unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so. Your dose may need to be reduced gradually.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose of Pred Forte, 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 regular schedule.

Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Storing Pred Forte

Store Pred Forte according to the instructions on the medication label, generally at room temperature.

Keep the bottle tightly closed and protect it from excessive heat.

Keep Pred Forte out of the reach of children and pets.

Important Treatment Note

Attend any follow-up eye examinations recommended by your healthcare provider.

Long-term or frequent use of corticosteroid eye drops can increase the risk of problems such as increased eye pressure, glaucoma, cataracts, or eye infections. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop worsening eye pain, vision changes, severe redness, or unusual discharge.

Glaucoma

Pred Forte should be used with caution if you have glaucoma or increased pressure inside the eye.

Long-term use of corticosteroid eye drops may increase eye pressure and raise the risk of glaucoma. Your healthcare provider may recommend regular eye-pressure checks during treatment.

Cataracts

Using Pred Forte for a long period may increase the risk of developing cataracts.

If long-term treatment is needed, regular eye examinations may be recommended.

Eye Infections

Pred Forte can suppress the immune response in the eye and may make some infections worse.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have or may have a bacterial, viral, or fungal eye infection before using Pred Forte.

Corticosteroid eye drops should not be used for certain eye infections unless specifically prescribed.

Fungal Eye Infections

If you have a persistent corneal ulcer or an eye condition that is not healing as expected, your healthcare provider may consider the possibility of a fungal infection.

Long-term steroid treatment can sometimes increase the risk of fungal infection in the eye.

Contact Lenses

Remove contact lenses before applying Pred Forte.

Wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes are red, irritated, or infected unless your eye doctor says it is safe.

Blurred Vision

Pred Forte may cause temporary blurred vision after application.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal.

Changes in Vision

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop persistent blurred vision, halos around lights, eye pain, or other changes in vision.

Do not stop Pred Forte suddenly unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so, especially if you have been using it for a long time.

Weakened Immune System

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a weakened immune system or take medications that suppress the immune system.

Pred Forte may increase the risk of infection or make an existing infection more difficult to detect.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you use, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and other eye medications.

If you use more than one type of eye drop, your healthcare provider may recommend waiting at least 5 minutes between products.

Use in Children

Pred Forte may be used in children in certain situations, but treatment should be supervised by a healthcare provider.

Children may require closer monitoring, especially if the medication is used frequently or for a long period.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose of Pred Forte, 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 regular schedule.

Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Important Treatment Note

Use Pred Forte exactly as prescribed and attend any recommended follow-up eye examinations.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop worsening eye pain, severe redness, unusual discharge, persistent blurred vision, or other concerning symptoms.

Can Pred Forte Be Used During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using Pred Forte. There is limited information about the use of prednisolone eye drops during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider can help decide whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh any possible risks.

Can Children Use Pred Forte?

Pred Forte may be used in children in certain situations, but it should only be given under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Children may need closer monitoring, especially if the medication is used frequently or for a long period.

How Should I Store Pred Forte?

Store Pred Forte at room temperature, generally between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F), unless the product label gives different instructions. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protected from excessive heat, and out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has been stored improperly or if the solution looks unusual. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.

How Long Can I Use Pred Forte?

Use Pred Forte only for the length of time prescribed by your healthcare provider. Long-term use can increase the risk of problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, and eye infections, so regular eye examinations may be needed. Do not use Pred Forte longer than prescribed or stop it suddenly without speaking with your healthcare provider, especially if you have been using it for an extended period.
