Flufen Eye Drop

Flufen Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution that contains Flurbiprofen 0.03% w/v, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used to control inflammation, pain, and swelling in the eyes, particularly around surgical procedures like cataract removal and to prevent intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction).

Uses of Flufen Eye Drop

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

How Flufen Eye Drop Works

Flufen Eye Drop works by inhibiting the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing prostaglandin levels, it helps to alleviate inflammation and discomfort in the eye.
