Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does FML Work?
FML works by reducing inflammation in the eye. It binds to specific receptors inside cells, leading to the inhibition of inflammatory mediators and a reduction in the overall inflammatory response. This results in decreased redness, swelling, and discomfort in the eye.
Common Dosages
- Eye drops: 0.1% solution
Typical Dosing
The typical dosing for FML is:
- For Inflammatory Conditions: One to two drops instilled into the affected eye(s) every 4 to 6 hours, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
- For Post-operative Inflammation: One to two drops instilled into the affected eye(s) every 4 to 6 hours, tapering as symptoms improve.
Typical Dosing
