Difluprednate is a corticosteroid, It is chemically a butyrate ester of 6(alpha),9(alpha)-difluoro prednisolone acetate. Accordingly, difluprednate is sometimes abbreviated DFBA, for difluoroprednisolone butyrate acetate.

Approval

On June 24, 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved difluprednate for the treatment of post-operative ocular inflammation and pain.^[1] It is marketed by Alcon under the tradename Durezol.

Clinical trials

Difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% is also being studied in other ocular inflammatory diseases, including a U.S. Phase 3 study evaluating difluprednate for the treatment of anterior uveitis.^[2]
