The safety information provided below outlines important considerations and risks associated with the use of this medication. Please read carefully and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

• Eye Health Risks: Prolonged use of fluorometholone can increase the risk of developing glaucoma, visual disturbances, and thinning of the cornea. It may also lead to new or worsening eye infections. Avoid using this medication if you have an eye infection, such as herpes simplex. Additionally, if you have recently undergone corneal surgery, fluorometholone may delay the healing process. For individuals requiring extended use (10 days or more), regular eye examinations are necessary to monitor eye health. Notify your healthcare provider if you experience any changes in vision or eye pain. Populations at higher risk include those with a history of glaucoma or cataracts, viral eye infections, or recent corneal surgery.

• Contact Lens Precautions: Fluorometholone suspensions contain benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and cause damage. Therefore, remove contact lenses before using the suspension and wait at least 15 minutes after application before reinserting them. This precaution applies to users of generic fluorometholone suspension, FML suspension, FML Forte, or Flarex.

• Contraindications: This medication should not be used if you have bacterial, viral, or fungal infections in the eye, as it may exacerbate these conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any of these infections before starting the medication.

Please adhere to these guidelines to ensure safe and effective use of fluorometholone.

When using this medication, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as a temporary burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, eye irritation, or blurred vision. These effects usually subside on their own, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

In some cases, users might encounter less common side effects including inflamed cornea, an open cut in the cornea, dilated pupils, eyelid redness or swelling, or a feeling of a foreign body in the eye. There could also be symptoms like eye redness, discharge, pain, or itching, excess tearing, or difficulty focusing on close objects. While these are generally not severe, they should be monitored, and any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to a healthcare professional.

Prolonged use of this medication might increase the risk of more serious eye problems such as high pressure inside the eyes or cataracts. Additionally, it may mask or increase susceptibility to eye infections. Immediate medical attention is required if serious side effects like vision problems, eye pain, headache, or dizziness occur. Although rare, serious allergic reactions are possible, with symptoms such as rash, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. If any of these symptoms arise, seek emergency medical help promptly. Always report any unlisted or concerning effects to a healthcare provider for guidance.
