The most severe systemic adverse effects of the corticosteroids are: systemic hyperglicemy, the formation of gastric ulcers, avascular necrosis to of the head of the femur, suppression of the hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal axis, arterial hypertension among others (21,22). In order to diminish the severe systemic adverse effects of the corticosteroids, the local administration is preferred (4). The subconjunctival injection or topical instillation, reaches effective concentrations in the anterior chamber (5-7) whereas to reach these concentrations in the posterior segment it requires a systemic, intravitreous or periocular administration (8-11). Generally it require multiple injections, which produces patient discomfort. In addition, after periocular administration, just a small fraction of the drug penetrates the eye, whereas the rest is systemically absorbed, reason why the systemic adverse effects are not avoided.
