What is Alrex?

Alrex (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic) is a prescription drug used to temporarily relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva, or the mucous lining of the eyelids). These may include eye redness, itching, and swelling. Alrex is not recommended to be used for the treatment of an eye infection.

Alrex ophthalmic suspension works by stopping certain chemicals from producing an inflammatory response in your body. This prescription drug should only be used for a short period of time. Seek medical advice from your primary healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve after two days.

Alrex is indicated for use by adults and is not recommended for anyone below the age of 18 years old. This drug should be kept out of the reach of children and pets.

You should read all medication guidelines and instructions before taking this medication. You should not use Alrex while wearing your contact lenses as it may contain a preservative that can damage your contact lenses. To reduce the chances of contamination, do not touch the dropper tip to your eyelids or any surrounding surfaces. Keep the bottle closed when not in use.

What are the side effects of Alrex?

Common side effects linked to Alrex use are as follows:

• Minor burning in the eyes

• Eye pain

• Blurred vision

• Dry eyes

• Watery eyes

• A sensation or feeling of something foreign in the eye

• Itching in the eyes

• Light sensitivity

Ask a healthcare professional for other possible side effects. If you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as severe rash, swelling, or trouble breathing, after using Alrex, get immediate medical attention.

Let your primary healthcare provider know if you have ever had glaucoma, cataracts, or cataract surgery. You also should seek medical advice from your doctor about whether Alrex is safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. 

What is a substitute for Alrex?

There are several eye drops available to treat allergic conjunctivitis. Examples include Lotemax (loteprednol), FML Forte (fluorometholone), and Pazeo (olopatadine). Alternative medications may be preferred due to adverse effects, dosing frequency, or cost. While Alrex is a brand-name drug that’s only available with a prescription, some substitute products may be purchased over-the-counter (OTC) or available as a generic drug. 

How long can you stay on Alrex?

It depends. Alrex should only be used for temporary relief of symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. If your symptoms aren’t improving after two days of treatment, talk to your healthcare provider. They can help determine if a change in medicine is needed. In some cases, using Alrex for 10 days or longer can increase your risk of elevated eye pressure. If you need to extend treatment beyond 14 days, your healthcare provider will likely examine your eye to determine how well the medication is working.
