Ocusol Suspension 1% contains Prednisolone Acetate, a potent corticosteroid used in ophthalmic conditions to reduce inflammation and allergic reactions in the eye. It is commonly prescribed for steroid-responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye, including uveitis, conjunctivitis, and post-operative inflammation. This suspension helps relieve redness, swelling, and discomfort by controlling the underlying inflammatory process.
