Pharmacology
Bromfenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory activity. It is thought to work by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins, through inhibition of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2. Prostaglandins are known to play a role in certain types of inflammation inside the eye. In animal studies, prostaglandins have been shown to disrupt the blood-aqueous humor barrier, widen blood vessels, increase vascular permeability, raise white blood cell activity, and increase pressure within the eye.

Start the drops 1 day before the surgery, carry on using them on the day of surgery, and keep going through the first 14 days after the operation.
Side Effects
The most commonly reported side effects include an abnormal sensation in the eye, conjunctival hyperemia (redness of the eye's surface), eye irritation such as burning or stinging, eye pain, itching in the eye, eye redness, headache, and iritis.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Re-Fenac ophthalmic solution belongs to a class of medicines, topical NSAIDs, that can slow down the eye's natural healing process. Topical corticosteroids carry this same risk, and using the two types of drops together may raise the chances of healing problems even further. Because of this, patients with a known tendency to bleed, or who are taking other medicines that can prolong bleeding time, should use Re-Fenac ophthalmic solution with caution.
Contraindications
Bromfenac ophthalmic solution should not be used by anyone who is known to be hypersensitive to any of its ingredients.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy Category C. Well-controlled studies in pregnant women are lacking, so this medicine should only be used during pregnancy if the expected benefit outweighs the possible risk to the unborn baby. Nursing mothers should use Bromfenac ophthalmic solution with caution.
