Days to use Pred Forte after cataract surgery

Doctor is there a time limit to using Pred Forte. The surgeons schedule given shows a requirement to use for 28 days after surgery. The data sheet packed with Pred Forte clearly states problems that can occur after taking Pred Forte beyond 10 days . Is there a legitimate conflict of opinion?

Any answer will be appreciated

Thank you
Mr H

You can take for years if monitor for complications. Steroids are commonly used for more than a month after cataract surgery if you have diabetes or your eye continues to have inflammation.
