  • Title: Growth suppression caused by corticosteroid eye drops.
    Author: Wolthers OD.
    Journal: J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab; 2011; 24(5-6):393-4. PubMed ID: 21823544.
    Abstract:
    Scarce data on systemic activity of corticosteroid eye drops are available in children. Two weeks treatment with fluorometholone eye drops in a case series of five children caused growth suppression detected by knemometry. The suppression had no impact on height growth during the following year.
