Lacrison Suspension 0.50% contains Loteprednol Etabonate, a topical corticosteroid specifically developed for ophthalmic use. It is used to manage inflammatory conditions of the eye where a steroid is indicated. Loteprednol Etabonate is known as a “soft steroid,” designed to provide effective anti-inflammatory action with a reduced risk of steroid-related side effects when used as prescribed.

Lacrison Suspension helps relieve eye inflammation, redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with various ocular conditions, making it a trusted option in ophthalmic practice.
