Pharmacology
Corticosteroid that inhibits the inflammatory response by suppressing edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen deposition, likely via inhibition of prostaglandin production through glucocorticoid receptor binding.
Perfluorohexyloctane, a semifluorinated alkane, forms a monolayer at the air-liquid interface of the tear film that may reduce evaporation; the exact mechanism of action in dry eye disease is not known.
