Cadiflur Eye Drop

Cadiflur Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution that contains Flurbiprofen 0.03% w/v, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly prescribed to manage eye pain and inflammation associated with eye surgeries, such as cataract removal, and in inflammatory conditions like uveitis. It also helps prevent intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) during surgical procedures.

Uses of Cadiflur Eye Drop

How Cadiflur Eye Drop Works

Cadiflur Eye Drop works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical messengers that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. By reducing their production, Flurbiprofen helps in relieving inflammation and pain in the eyes.
