EYFEM E/OINT: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction
EYFEM E/OINT is a specialized eye ointment designed to treat various eye conditions. It contains fluorometholone, a corticosteroid known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. This medication is particularly effective in managing inflammation and other symptoms associated with eye conditions.
Key Ingredient
Fluorometholone: This corticosteroid works by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It is highly effective in reducing swelling, redness, and itching in the eyes.
Uses and Benefits
Treatment of Inflammatory Eye Conditions: EYFEM E/OINT is used to treat acute and chronic non-infectious conjunctivitis and keratitis of allergic origin. It is also effective in managing non-infectious inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye, including conditions like anterior uveitis, episcleritis, and scleritis¹.
Post-Surgical Care: This eye ointment is often prescribed after eye surgeries, such as cataract and glaucoma surgeries, to manage post-operative irritative conditions and reduce inflammation¹.
Reduction of Inflammation: EYFEM E/OINT helps in reducing the symptoms of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, and pain, providing significant relief to patients¹.
How to Use
Dosage: The typical dosage involves applying a 1/2 inch ribbon of the ointment into the conjunctival sac 2-4 times daily. During the initial 24 to 48 hours, the dosage may be increased if necessary.
Application: Before applying the ointment, wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and apply the prescribed amount of ointment. Close your eyes for a few moments to allow the medication to spread evenly.
Precautions
Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the tip of the ointment tube to any surface, including the eye, to avoid contamination.
Follow Medical Advice: Always follow the dosage and duration as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue use prematurely, even if symptoms improve.
Possible Side Effects
While EYFEM E/OINT is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as:
Temporary burning or stinging sensation
Redness or irritation
Blurred vision
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
