AFM Plus Ophthalmic Ointment combines Fluorometholone 0.1% and Gentamicin 0.3% to provide effective treatment for steroid-responsive inflammatory eye conditions where bacterial infection is present or there is a risk of bacterial infection. This combination offers the dual benefits of reducing inflammation while preventing or treating susceptible bacterial infections of the eye.

Fluorometholone is a corticosteroid that relieves redness, swelling, pain, and irritation by suppressing inflammation, while Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic that eliminates susceptible bacteria responsible for ocular infections. AFM Plus Ophthalmic Ointment is commonly prescribed after eye surgery, for inflammatory eye disorders, and for certain bacterial eye infections associated with inflammation. It should be used only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.

How AFM Plus Ophthalmic Ointment Works
