First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looked at how steroid eye drops are absorbed and processed in premature babies who have an eye disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Eleven infants received the drops, and researchers took small blood and saliva samples to measure the drug levels. The goal was to learn about safety and how the body handles the medication, not to prove it works.
