Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension, 1%, 15 mL

Prednisolone Acetate is an ophthalmic corticosteroid used to treat eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and corneal infections. It works by reducing inflammation, aiding in the healing process and enhancing comfort during recovery. These pet eye drops are easy to apply and sold in a 15 mL bottle.How it Works

Prednisolone acetate is a glucocorticoid medication. Based on weight, it has three to five times the anti-inflammatory strength of hydrocortisone. It inhibits the phagocytic migration, capillary dilation, fibrin deposition, and edema of the acute inflammatory response. It also prevents scar formation, collagen deposition, and capillary proliferation.
