A member asked:
Should i stop steroid eye drops like durezol (difluprednate) during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Category C: These meds are generally Category C, so the benfits must outweigh any risk. Generally, the meds do not have significant serum concentrations as they are eye drops, but check with your OB dr and eye to determine if you can do without them while pregnant or not. Best wishes.
