Product overview

BROMVUE Eye Drops contain bromfenac 0.09%, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Bromfenac ophthalmic solution is used to reduce eye inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. Use only as directed by an ophthalmologist. Marketed by: Ipca Laboratories Ltd.

Composition

Each mL contains:

• Bromfenac Sodium: equivalent to Bromfenac Free Acid 0.9 mg, corresponding to 0.09% w/v.
• Sterile aqueous buffered vehicle: q.s.

The packaging states that the solution is preserved with an ionic solvent system.

Key benefits

• Helps reduce inflammation following cataract surgery.
• Helps relieve pain associated with postoperative eye inflammation.

How it works

Bromfenac blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins—substances involved in pain and inflammation in the eye.

Directions for use

1. Wash and dry your hands before use.
2. Turn the tamper-proof cap anticlockwise to break the seal, as instructed on the carton.
3. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid.
4. Instil the prescribed number of drops into the pocket formed by the lower eyelid, using gentle pressure.
5. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers or any surface.
6. Close the eye gently and replace the cap immediately.

Dosage and treatment duration: Follow your ophthalmologist’s prescription. If using other eye drops, leave at least 5 minutes between medicines. For external ophthalmic use only; not for injection.

Possible side effects

Possible side effects include burning or stinging, irritation, redness, itching or a feeling that something is in the eye. Rarely, serious corneal problems may occur. Stop using the drops and seek prompt medical advice for worsening pain, reduced vision or persistent irritation.

Precautions

• Tell your ophthalmologist about allergies to bromfenac, aspirin, other NSAIDs or any ingredient in the formulation.
• Inform your doctor about bleeding disorders, blood-thinning medicines, diabetes, dry eyes, corneal problems and other eye medicines, particularly steroid drops.
• Do not apply while wearing contact lenses; ask your ophthalmologist when lens wear may resume.
• Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not increase the dose or extend treatment without medical advice. Ophthalmic NSAIDs can delay healing and may cause corneal complications.
• Do not share the bottle. If irritation persists or increases, discontinue use and consult your doctor, as advised on the packaging.

Storage

• Store below 30°C.
• Protect from light and moisture.
• Do not freeze.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
• Use within one month after opening and discard any remaining solution.
• Do not use beyond the expiry date.
