Effectiveness
How Iluvien Affects PatientsFluocinolone acetonide is a medication used to reduce inflammation. When used in the eyes, it is inserted as a tiny implant and has been found to reduce the recurrence of uveitis (inflammation of the eye) by two-fold compared to not taking any medication. However, it can cause an increase in the pressure inside the eye, so this should be monitored.
How Iluvien works in the bodyFluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor and entering the cell nucleus. In the nucleus, it binds to genes that create a protein called lipocortin. This protein stops the production of other proteins that create inflammation, like prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and arachidonic acid. This allows fluocinolone to reduce inflammation in the body.
