Fluorometholone acetate(Cat No.:A000993)is a synthetic corticosteroid with the molecular formula C24H31FO5, used primarily in ophthalmology to treat inflammation of the eye. It works by suppressing inflammatory responses such as redness, swelling, and irritation through inhibition of phospholipase A2 and downstream prostaglandin synthesis. Formulated as an ophthalmic suspension or ointment, it is commonly prescribed for conditions like allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis, or post-surgical inflammation. The acetate ester enhances its lipophilicity and ocular penetration. Prolonged use may lead to increased intraocular pressure, cataracts, or secondary infections, necessitating careful monitoring by healthcare professionals.
