Flourometholone for eyelid movement/pulsating or twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Eyelid muscle action depends upon the interaction of the neuromuscular connections in the lids. Fluorometholone is a steroid anti-inflammatory used topically and is effective for immune based inflammation of the eye surface and sometimes the eye interior. It will not penetrate the lid skin to reach the neuromuscular bundles and so will have no effect on twitching, etc
