MedDataToolDurezol is a medication used to treat inflammation and pain after eye surgery, as well as a condition called endogenous anterior uveitis. It works by reducing inflammation in the eye, helping to relieve discomfort and promote healing. You take it by putting one drop in the affected eye four times a day; for surgery, you start this 24 hours after the procedure and continue for two weeks, then reduce to twice a day for another week. It's important to know that Durezol should not be used if you have certain active viral infections of the eye, like herpes. Additionally, if you're taking other corticosteroids, you should discuss this with your doctor, as they may interact with Durezol.
