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.
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.
