How it works
Fluorometholone’, which decreases the activity of the provoked immune system, thereby blocking white blood cells (WBC) from attacking our own body cells. This results in a decreased release of chemicals (prostaglandin) that cause pain and inflammation. It causes constriction of blood vessels decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury, and reducing the swelling, pain, and discomfort in the eyes. Neomycin mediates its bactericidal action by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby suppressing the growth and survival of susceptible bacteria.
