Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Rimi Work?
- Suppressing the inflammatory response: It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, which reduces swelling, redness, and pain in the eye.
- Stabilizing cell membranes: Rimexolone decreases the permeability of blood vessels and stabilizes cell membranes, contributing to its anti-inflammatory effects.
Common Dosages
- Ophthalmic suspension: Common concentration is 1% rimexolone.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dosing is 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) 3 to 4 times daily. The frequency may be adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the healthcare provider's recommendations.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications

Who Shouldn't Take Rimi?

- Active viral or fungal infections of the eye, such as herpes simplex keratitis.
