Flurbiren Eye Drop

Flurbiren Eye Drop contains Flurbiprofen 0.03% w/v, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage inflammation and pain in the eyes. It is primarily prescribed before and after eye surgeries such as cataract removal and in conditions like uveitis to reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort.

Uses of Flurbiren Eye Drop

• Prevention of intraoperative miosis during eye surgery
• Post-operative eye inflammation and pain management
• Treatment of non-infectious inflammatory eye conditions like anterior uveitis

How Flurbiren Eye Drop Works

Flurbiprofen works by blocking the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By inhibiting prostaglandins, Flurbiren Eye Drop effectively reduces discomfort and promotes healing.
