FML LIQUIFILM 1 MG is an ophthalmic solution containing Fluorometholone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the eye. This medication is used to manage symptoms associated with inflammatory eye conditions, such as conjunctivitis and uveitis. Fluorometholone works by suppressing the immune response that causes inflammation, helping to alleviate discomfort and prevent further damage to the eye.
Usage Instructions:
Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the eye drops.
Application: Tilt your head back slightly, pull down the lower eyelid to create a pocket, and place one drop of FML LIQUIFILM into the pocket. Close your eye gently and press on the inner corner of the eye to prevent the liquid from draining.
Frequency: Apply as directed by your healthcare provider, usually 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times a day.
Medicinal Advantages:
Effective Inflammation Reduction: Provides rapid relief from eye inflammation and associated symptoms.
Reduces Discomfort: Alleviates itching, redness, and swelling caused by allergic or inflammatory conditions.
Improves Eye Health: Helps in managing chronic inflammatory conditions and preventing further damage to the eye.
Mechanism of Action:
FML LIQUIFILM contains Fluorometholone, a corticosteroid that inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators in the eye. By suppressing the activity of these mediators, Fluorometholone reduces the inflammatory response, thereby alleviating symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain. The corticosteroid action also helps to stabilize cell membranes and limit the migration of white blood cells to the affected area, further reducing inflammation.
Off-Label Uses:
While FML LIQUIFILM is primarily used for managing ocular inflammation, it may also be used off-label for other eye conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.

Allergic Reactions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a known allergy to Fluorometholone or other corticosteroids, as allergic reactions may occur.
Infection: Avoid using FML LIQUIFILM if you have a viral or fungal eye infection, as corticosteroids can exacerbate these conditions.
Pregnancy and Nursing: Consult with your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the safety of corticosteroids during these periods is not fully established.
