Lotecan Eye Drop belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids primarily used to treat post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with tissue damage. Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to injury or infection. Lotecan Eye Drop is prescribed to treat redness and swelling (inflammation) of the eye.

Lotecan Eye Drop contains Loteprednol etabonate. It is a corticosteroid that works by blocking prostaglandins (a chemical messenger) in the brain that cause inflammation and swelling. Thereby, Lotecan Eye Drop helps treat inflammation and pain. 

Lotecan Eye Drop is for ophthalmic use only. You are advised to use Lotecan Eye Drop for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. In some cases, Lotecan Eye Drop may cause watery eyes, irritation, itching, and foreign body sensation in the eye. Most of these side effects of Lotecan Eye Drop 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 take Lotecan Eye Drop if you are allergic to corticosteroids or any ingredient of Lotecan Eye Drop. Also, do not use more than the prescribed dose of Lotecan Eye Drop as it may cause glaucoma, fungal infections, and cataracts. Do not take any other eye medication with Lotecan Eye Drop, without consulting your doctor. If you have/had glaucoma (increased eye pressure), herpes simplex infection, any other eye problem, are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take Lotecan Eye Drop unless prescribed by your doctor.

Pain: It is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with or resembling actual or potential tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Perception of pain can differ from person to person and it could be tolerable to non-tolerable.

Inflammation: It occurs due to the body's immune response against the antigen. It can be due to external injuries, effects of radiation, chemicals, or pathogens (bacteria, viruses).
