Lotemax SM Reviews
For Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "Lotemax SM Opthalmic Gel 5g I used the product after cataract surgery with no problems. The one question you can’t find an answer to is how many drops are in that 5g / 10ml bottle. FYI, I got 103 drops."
For Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "I had scarring on my eye after having pink eye for a few days. My doctor gave me a sample of this medication and advised me to take it 4x a day for 2 weeks to help repair the scarring on my eye and light sensitivity. I noticed immediate relief after my first drop and my eyes were not sensitive to light anymore after using. I will say that this medication is a bit thick and has a gel consistency so it is a little tough to apply at first. I experienced no side effects besides my eye crying after the first drop. I’m hoping to not run out of the sample before my 2 weeks is up because the doctor did mention it is an expensive medicine. The sample bottle is small."
For Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "I have not had a good experience with this. Very difficult to get in eye, leaves my eyes as if something is in my eyes and I find that I do not want to use it as doctor prescribed because of feeling something is in eye. Will ask for a liquid steroid eyedrop."
"I had an Allergic reaction to pink eye antibiotic eye drop so my eye doctor gave me this Lotemax SM as a sample and had put some in my eye around 5 pm... not long after I felt pressure relief and itching sensation like something was in my eye was gone. I woke up the next morning and my eye was not crusted shut. I noticed there is no generic and the cost is very high with hardly no health coverage that pays for this medicine. Only downside:("
For Postoperative Ocular Inflammation "This medicine, Lotemax SM 0.38%, did a great job from the first drop application. After seven days, 14 drops, on the inflamed eye, it became very good and no more redness nor feeling scratchy. This medicine is magical. I had undergone surgery with three procedures on this eye months ago, but it never got as good as the other eye did, which had the same procedure a month before this one. Hope it will be as good to you."
