Used For:

• Eye Inflammation: Blephapred is an ophthalmic ointment used to treat eye inflammation caused by infections, injuries, or allergic reactions. It combines a corticosteroid (prednisolone) to reduce swelling and redness.
• Bacterial Eye Infections: It can also be used to prevent or treat infections around the eyelids.

Side Effects:

• Temporary Blurred Vision: Ointment application can cause temporary blurred vision.
• Stinging or Burning Sensation: Some users may experience mild burning or stinging after applying the ointment.
• Increased Eye Pressure: Long-term use may increase intraocular pressure, leading to glaucoma.
• Allergic Reactions: Rarely, users may experience itching, swelling, or redness due to an allergic reaction.
• Secondary Eye Infection: Prolonged use of corticosteroids can suppress immune responses and increase the risk of secondary infections.

Precautions:

• Consult Healthcare Provider: If you have a history of glaucoma, cataracts, or eye infections, consult your doctor before using Blephapred.
• Regular Monitoring: Prolonged use may require regular eye exams to monitor for increased eye pressure.
• Avoid Contamination: To prevent contamination, avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube to any surface, including your eye.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only if clearly necessary and as recommended by a healthcare provider.
• Avoid Contact Lenses: Do not use contact lenses during treatment with Blephapred, as the preservatives in the ointment may be absorbed by soft lenses.
