Overview

LOTEMAX SM is a topical ophthalmic corticosteroid formulation containing loteprednol etabonate at a concentration of 0.38%. It is specifically designed using submicron (SM) technology, which reduces the particle size of the active ingredient to enhance dissolution in tears and improve ocular tissue penetration and bioavailability compared to previous formulations[10][4]. The drug acts by inhibiting the inflammatory response, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and redness following ocular surgery[3][4]. The formulation includes moisturizing agents such as glycerin and propylene glycol for patient comfort and contains a low concentration of preservative (benzalkonium chloride)[10][6]. Its primary indication is for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery[1][2][3].
