Fluriset 0.03% Eye Drop

How Fluriset 0.03% Eye Drop Works

Fluriset Eye Drop works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the formation of prostaglandins—compounds that cause inflammation, redness, and pain. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Flurbiprofen helps in relieving inflammation and maintaining eye comfort.
