Is using lotemax (loteprednol) for 3 weeks too long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes- too long: Per the website: prolonged use of Lotemax (loteprednol) is associated with warnings, including glaucoma with optic nerve damage, defects in visual acuity, cataract formation, secondary ocular infections, worsened viral ocular infections (including herpes simplex), delay in wound healing and increase in bleb formation. If this product is used for 10 days or longer, intraocular pressure should be monitered.
