Warnings & Precautions
Fungal infection of the cornea should be considered as a possibility whenever steroid dosing has continued over a long period, and also in patients with persistent corneal ulceration. Extended use of the antibiotic may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. Extended use of topical ophthalmic steroids may result in glaucoma, with damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and fields of vision, and formation of posterior subcapsular cataract. Intraocular pressure should be monitored on a routine basis.
