Mep Fovea Eye Drop

Mep-Fovea Eye Drop is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication used in ophthalmology.

How Mep-Fovea Eye Drop Works

Mep-Fovea Eye Drop contains Flurbiprofen, which blocks the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes promote the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, the eye drops reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort in the eyes.
