AFM EYE DROPS 5ML

AFM eye drops is a corticosteroid with an excellent anti-inflammatory action with no significant influence on the intraocular pressure. The anti-inflammatory activity of AFM eye drops is at least 40 times stronger than that of Hydrocortisone. Corticosteroids are thought to act by the introduction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandin and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. In comparison with other corticosteroids AFM eye drops is more rapidly degraded in tissue and therefore has less effect on the intraocular pressure. The immunosuppressive action of AFM eye drops is less pronounced than that of Dexamethasone.

Corticosteroids such as fluorometholone inhibit the inflammatory response to a variety of inciting agents and probably delay or slow healing. They inhibit the edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, capillary proliferation, fibroblast proliferation, deposition of collagen, and scar formation associated with inflammation.

AFM eye drops Acetate ophthalmic suspension is used for the treatment of-

• Acute and chronic non-infectious conjunctivitis and keratitis of allergic origin.
• Non-infectious inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye (including anterior uveitis, episcleritis and scleritis).
• Post-operative irritative conditions after strabismus, cataract and glaucoma surgery.

AFM eye drops is equally used for the associated treatment of Anterior chamber inflammation, Conjunctivitis allergic, Corneal Inflammation, Inflammation, Ocular Inflammation, Ocular bacterial infections.
