Lotepred 1% Eye Drops 5ml contains loteprednol (1%), which works on the eye as follows:

• Inflammation Reduction: Loteprednol inhibits the release of natural substances in the body that cause inflammation, helping to reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort in the affected eye.
• Prostaglandin Inhibition: It specifically blocks the production of inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and swelling in the eye tissues.
• Immune Response Modification: Loteprednol modifies the body's immune response in the eye, reducing the release of substances that attract inflammatory cells to the affected area.
• Blood Vessel Constriction: This medicine causes the blood vessels in the eye to narrow, which helps decrease redness, swelling, and fluid accumulation in the inflamed tissues.
