Fluorometholone is a synthetic corticosteroid (glucocorticoid), a derivative of desoxyprednisolone.

Glucocorticosteroids bind to cytoplasmic receptors and control the synthesis of infection mediators thus damping inflammatory reactions (swelling, fibrin deposition, capillary dilatation, phagocyte migration) and also capillary proliferation, collagen deposition and scarring.
