Aflur Eye Drop

Aflur Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution containing Flurbiprofen 0.03% w/v, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce eye inflammation and pain associated with eye surgeries like cataract extraction and to prevent intraoperative miosis (constriction of the pupil).

Uses of Aflur Eye Drop

• Prevention of pupil constriction during cataract surgery
• Relief of post-operative eye pain and inflammation
• Treatment of inflammatory eye conditions such as anterior uveitis

How Aflur Eye Drop Works

Aflur Eye Drop works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. These substances cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, Flurbiprofen helps in minimizing inflammation and discomfort in the eyes.
