Apicort Forte eye drops are used to treat short-term inflammatory eye conditions. They are usually prescribed by an eye specialist. They contain a corticosteroid (sometimes called a ‘steroid’) which helps to relieve inflammation, redness and irritation.

Apicort Forte eye drops has a high concentration of Prednisolone with higher effectiveness. Apicort Forte also has an excellent pain relief effect.

Method of Administration

Use Apicort Forte eye drops exactly as your doctor tells you to. It is usual to apply the drops frequently during the first two days until your symptoms are controlled – typically every 1-2 hours while you are awake. Once your eye begins to feel better, reduce the frequency of using the drops to four times a day for a further few days, then stop. Care should be taken not to discontinue therapy prematurely.

Directions for Use for Adminstration

1. As with any eye preparation, wash your hands before you administer Apicort Forte eye drops.
2. Remove the cap
3. Tilt your head back a little and pull the lower lid of your eye downwards to form a pocket.
4. Hold the bottle upside down near to your eye. Try not to touch your eye as you do this.
5. Apply enough pressure to gently release one drop into your eye. Only use a second drop if the first drop missed going into your eye.
6. Close your eye for a minute or two and press gently on the side of your nose where the corner of your eye meets your nose. This helps to stop the drop from draining away and keeps it in your eye.
7. Repeat the process in your other eye if you have been told to use the drops in both eyes.
