About this active substance

Bromfenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce inflammation and eye pain following surgical procedures such as cataract surgery. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, substances involved in the inflammatory process.

The medication is administered as eye drops, usually twice daily, as directed by a doctor. The treatment is short-term and must be followed strictly to prevent complications.

Common side effects include a burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, eye redness, and light sensitivity. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as corneal ulcers or eye infections may occur.

Bromfenac is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should inform their doctor about any other eye conditions or medications being used to avoid drug interactions.
