Table of contents:

FML known by its generic name Fluoromethalone is an anti-inflammatory eye drop used to treat inflammation caused by various eye conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids and its primary active ingredient is fluomethalone.

Fluomethalone works by reducing inflammation and irritation in the eyes, making it an essential treatment for many eye problems. It is a topical medication derived from a steroid that helps reduce redness, itching and swelling of the eyes.

Uses and Dosage

To use Fluorometholone, the first step is to wash your hands well before you use the drops. Shake the bottle well and then remove the cap. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the tip of the tube close to your eye with the other hand and squeeze a small amount (1/2-inch ribbon) of ointment into the pocket. Close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes and apply gentle pressure to the inside corner of the eye with your finger. Repeat this process for the other eye, if necessary.

The recommended dosage for Fluorometholone is 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) 4 times daily. If your symptoms are severe, you may need to increase the dosage to up to 2 drops every 2 hours during the first 1 to 2 days. Follow the dosage and frequency guidelines set by your doctor.
