Used primarily in ophthalmology, this chemical is a corticosteroid prescribed to reduce inflammation in the eye. It treats conditions such as uveitis, keratitis, and post-operative inflammation following eye surgery. Due to its lower potential for increasing intraocular pressure compared to other steroids, it is preferred for short-term management of ocular inflammation. It is available in the form of eye drops and is typically used several times a day depending on the severity of the condition. Its anti-inflammatory action helps relieve redness, swelling, and discomfort without significantly affecting eye pressure in most patients.
