Manufactured By: Remington Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

1. Bacterial Eye Infections: Nebralot is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and keratitis.
2. Inflammation: It is also prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling in the eye caused by infections or post-surgical conditions.
3. Post-surgical Use: After eye surgeries (like cataract surgery), Nebralot may be prescribed to prevent infections and reduce inflammation.

Active Ingredients:

• Loteprednol Etabonate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the eye.
• Tobramycin: An aminoglycoside antibiotic that kills bacteria, preventing or treating bacterial eye infections.

Side Effects:

Nebralot Eye Drops are generally well-tolerated, but side effects can occur, particularly with long-term use.

• Common Side Effects:

  • Temporary burning or stinging after applying the drops
  • Blurred vision (right after application)
  • Eye redness or irritation
  • Dryness of the eye

• Serious Side Effects:

  • Increased Intraocular Pressure (Glaucoma): Long-term use of corticosteroids like loteprednol can increase eye pressure, which may lead to glaucoma.
  • Cataracts: Prolonged use of steroid eye drops can increase the risk of developing cataracts.
  • Secondary Infections: Corticosteroids can weaken the immune response, potentially leading to fungal or viral infections in the eye.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rarely, patients may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling around the eye area.

Precautions:

1. Eye Pressure Monitoring: Prolonged use of Nebralot may increase intraocular pressure, so regular eye pressure checks are necessary, especially if the drops are used for an extended period.

2. Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of glaucoma, cataracts, or any other serious eye conditions.

3. Avoid Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses while using Nebralot Eye Drops, especially if you have an active infection. Soft contact lenses may absorb preservatives in the drops, potentially causing irritation.

4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Nebralot, as the safety during these times should be evaluated.

5. Short-term Use: Corticosteroids should be used for the shortest time necessary to reduce the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding duration.

6. Drug Interactions: Be cautious if you are using other eye medications. Allow a 5-10 minute gap between applying Nebralot and other eye drops.
