Corticosteroids work by damping down the inflammatory response, whatever the trigger, though they probably also slow the healing process somewhat. In practical terms, they reduce the swelling, fluid leakage, capillary widening, and migration of white blood cells that are part of inflammation, along with the proliferation of new capillaries and fibroblasts and the laying down of collagen and scar tissue.
Exactly how corticosteroids act in the eye isn't fully settled, but the leading theory is that they trigger the production of proteins called lipocortins, which block the enzyme phospholipase A2. Since this enzyme is what releases arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids, and arachidonic acid is the raw material the body uses to make inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, blocking it this way is thought to curb inflammation at its source.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy Category C. No clinical data are available on pregnancies exposed to loteprednol etabonate, though animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity. Because the risk to humans is unknown, it should be used in pregnancy only if clearly necessary. It is also not known whether topical ophthalmic corticosteroids are absorbed into the bloodstream in amounts sufficient to appear in human milk, so loteprednol should be used with caution in nursing mothers.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
