What Is The Dosage Of Steroid Eye Drop?

I cannot remember the name of the steroid eye drop my Husband takes. It is stronger than prednisone and he taked it 6 times a day.

I'm at work and I'm trying to find out about prescription assistance. Do you have any idea what it may be? I want to say it starts with a D.

Dexamethasone is commonly prescribed in Ophthalmology practice. It is stronger than Prednisone depending on the dose. If you looking to purchase it please know the dose before you do it. It is given 6 times a day.

It would be good if you can help me with more details why was it prescribed and what is the diagnosis made.

Hope this helps.
