About DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML

DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ocular medications called ‘topical corticosteroids’ used to treat inflammatory conditions after eye surgery.  It is effectively used to treat eye inflammation caused by allergies, iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (iris)), uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye (uvea)), eye injury, postinfectious pain and inflammation.

DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML contains Difluprednate, a topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties and acts by inhibiting the chemicals such as prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy. It is used to treat post-operative eye pain and inflammation.

DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML is for ophthalmic (use in the eyes) use only. Use DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. You may experience watery eyes, irritation, eye itching, and eyes more sensitivity to light in some cases. Most of these side effects of DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML are temporary, do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML without consulting your doctor if you have a damaged cornea, ulcers in the eye, eye infection producing pus, open lesions in the eye and glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye increases). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML, and you can put it back 15 minutes after using DIFLUSAP DROPS 5ML. Avoid touching the eyedropper with bare hands or taking it closer to the eyelids while administering drops since it contaminates the dropper tip and solution.
