Econopred Plus Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension
Econopred Plus Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension
SIDE EFFECTS
Adverse reactions include, in decreasing order of frequency, elevation
of intraocular pressure (IOP) with possible development of glaucoma and
infrequent optic nerve damage, posterior subcapsular cataract formation,
and delayed wound healing.
Although systemic effects are extremely uncommon, there have been rare
occurrences of systemic hypercorticoidism after use of topical steroids.
Corticosteroid-containing preparations have also been reported to cause
acute anterior uveitis and perforation of the globe. Keratitis, conjunctivitis,
corneal ulcers, mydriasis, conjunctival hyperemia, loss of accommodation
and ptosis have occasionally been reported following local use of corticosteroids.
The development of secondary ocular infection (bacterial, fungal and
viral) has occurred. Fungal and viral infections of the cornea are particularly
prone to develop coincidentally with long-term applications of steroid.
The possibility of fungal invasion should be considered in any persistent
corneal ulceration where steroid treatment has been used (See WARNINGS).
