Loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension is less effective than prednisolone acetate 1% in two 28-day controlled clinical studies in acute anterior uveitis, where 72% of patients treated with loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension experienced resolution of anterior chamber cells, compared to 87% of patients treated with prednisolone acetate 1%. The incidence of patients with clinically significant increases in IOP (‚â•10 mmHg) was 1% with loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension and 6% with prednisolone acetate 1%. Loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension should not be used in patients who require a more potent corticosteroid for this indication. Loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension is also indicated for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery.
