Info about Econopred

Brand Name(s): AK-Pred, Econopred, Econopred Plus, Inflamase Forte, Inflamase Mild, Pred Forte, Pred Mild

Generic Name Prednisolone Ophthalmic

What are prednisolone eye solution or suspension?

PREDNISOLONE (Pred-Mild®, Econopred®, Ocu-Pred®, AK-Pred®, Inflamase®, Pred-Forte®) is a corticosteroid. It helps to reduce swelling, redness, itching, and allergic reactions affecting the eye. Some generic prednisolone eye products are available.

What should my health care professional know before I use prednisolone?

They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

  • cataracts or glaucoma
  • contact lens wearer
  • diabetes
  • fungal eye infection
  • herpes eye infection
  • measles or chickenpox
  • tuberculosis
  • an unusual or allergic reaction to prednisolone, sulfites, other corticosteroids, medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
  • pregnant or trying to get pregnant
  • breast-feeding

How should I use this medicine?

Prednisolone eye solution or suspension is only for use in the eye. Do not take by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash your hands before and after use. Tilt your head back slightly and pull your lower eyelid down with your index finger to form a pouch. Try not to touch the tip of the dropper to your eye, fingertips, or other surface. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pouch. Close the eye for a few moments to spread the drops. Do not use more often than directed.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.

What drug(s) may interact with prednisolone?

  • atropine
  • eye preparations for glaucoma

Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.

What side effects may I notice from using prednisolone?

If prednisolone is used for long periods of time, other serious side effects may develop. Report any other unusual effects to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as you can.

Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:

  • eye pain, decreased or blurred vision
  • infection
  • nausea, vomiting
  • watery eyes

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):

  • burning, redness, or stinging in the eye
  • temporary watering or blurring of vision

What should I watch for while taking prednisolone?

Check with your prescriber or health care professional if your condition has not improved after 5 days, or if it gets worse. Check with your prescriber or health care professional before using prednisolone for any future eye problems. Tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are exposed to anyone with measles or chickenpox, or if you develop sores or blisters that do not heal properly.

If you are a contact lens wearer, ask your prescriber or health care professional before you use prednisolone when you can use your lenses again.

Where can I keep my medicine?

Keep out of the reach of children.

Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 °C (59 and 86 °F); do not freeze. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date.
