Lotecare DS 1% Ophthalmic Suspension
Loteprednol Etabonate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It works by inducing proteins (lipocortins) that inhibit phospholipase A2, preventing the release of arachidonic acid, a precursor of inflammatory mediators.
