Safely Buy Durezol ( Difluprednate Opthalmic Emulsion ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Durezol is a brand name for difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion, a corticosteroid medicine used to treat inflammation and pain associated with ocular conditions.

Durezol was approved for use in the US in 2008 and is manufactured by Sirion Therapeutics, Inc. Durezol comes in the form of eye drops and works by preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

Durezol is indicated for the treatment of inflammation and pain associated with ocular conditions, including endogenous anterior uveitis, scleritis, and pain and inflammation following cataract surgery.

Use and Dosage

To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.

If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using eye drops. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing your contact lenses.

Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed or if your dose is for more than 1 drop.

Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.

Use this medication exactly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor may direct you to use this medication more often at the beginning of treatment and then reduce your dose gradually. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Continue using it for the full-time prescribed.

If you are using another kind of eye medication (for example, drops or ointments), wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.

Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or does not improve.
