Durezol Information:

• What
This medicine is an ophthalmic corticosteroid used to treat swelling, pain, redness, or irritation of the eye after eye surgery. It is also used to treat uveitis (inflammation of the eye).
• How
Follow the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor. This medicine is only for the eye. Do not get it in your nose or mouth. SHAKE WELL before each use. IF YOU WEAR CONTACT LENSES, remove them before you use this medicine. Soft contact lenses may absorb a chemical in this medicine. Wait 10 minutes after you use this medicine before you put your contacts back in. TO USE THIS MEDICINE IN THE EYE, first, wash your hands. Tilt your head back. Using your index finger, pull the lower eyelid away from the eye to form a pouch. Drop the medicine into the pouch and gently close your eyes. Immediately use your finger to apply pressure to the inside corner of the eyelid for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not blink. Remove excess medicine around your eye with a clean, dry tissue, being careful not to touch your eye. Wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them. TO PREVENT GERMS FROM CONTAMINATING YOUR MEDICINE, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface, including the eye. Keep the container tightly closed. IF YOU WILL BE USING THIS MEDICINE TO TREAT BOTH EYES after surgery, do not use the same bottle for both eyes. Doing so may increase the risk of passing an infection from one eye to the other.
