LOT LS eye drops is a combination of:
• Loteprednol etabonate – a mild steroid (used to reduce inflammation)
• Levocetirizine – an antihistamine (used to treat allergic reactions)
This combination is commonly prescribed for allergic conjunctivitis, especially when there’s redness, itching, or irritation due to allergens like dust or pollen.
⸻
✅ Safety in Infants (8 Months Old):
• While Loteprednol is a milder steroid, steroid use in infants should be done only under pediatric ophthalmologist or pediatrician supervision, and for short durations only.
• Levocetirizine, the antihistamine part, is generally considered safe for children in small doses.
Next Steps
✅ Final Advice:
Follow your doctor’s instructions closely. LOT LS can be used safely for short-term relief in eye allergies in infants when necessary and monitored. If redness persists beyond 5 days or worsens, follow up is essential.
