INFLAMASE MILD vs PRED-G
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Inflammase Mild is a combination product containing hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that acts by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, thereby inhibiting the release of arachidonic acid and reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. It also contains benzalkonium chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound with antiseptic properties.
Prednisolone acetate is a glucocorticoid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis; gentamicin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunit.
N/A
1 drop of the ophthalmic suspension (containing prednisolone acetate 1% and gentamicin sulfate 0.3%) into the affected eye(s) every 2-4 hours during the day, then taper as clinical signs improve. For severe disease, 1 drop every hour initially.

1.5-2.5 hours; short half-life allows frequent dosing for mild inflammation.
The terminal elimination half-life of gentamicin (the active component) is approximately 2–3 hours in adults with normal renal function. In neonates, half-life is prolonged to 5–11 hours. The immunosuppressive component (prednisolone) has a half-life of 2–4 hours.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug (approximately 60%) and glucuronide conjugate (20%); biliary/fecal (15%).
Renal excretion accounts for approximately 70% of elimination, with the remainder as unchanged drug in feces (20%) and biliary excretion (10%).
