2.3 Other hazards
Loteprednol etobonate is a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties. Effects reported in clinical trials following ophthalmic use included blurry vision, dilation and redness of blood vessels in the eye, discomfort on instillation (burning, itching, pain) and sensitivity to light. With prolonged use there is a risk of developing glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, eye infections, or delayed wound healing. Corticosteroids, as a class, have been associated with immunosuppression, as well as disturbances of the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. They have also been associated with fetal growth retardation if administered late in pregnancy. Malformations were also frequently reported with systemic exposure in non-clinical studies. Although loteprednol etobonate is considered a "soft steroid" (designed to be rapidly inactivated upon entering circulation) and it appears to act more locally, a potential for the drug to adversely affect pregnancty outcomes if accidentally inhaled or ingested in a workplace setting cannot be excluded. Note This mixture is classified as hazardous under GHS as implemented by Regulation EC No
