Aquabrom Eye Drop Substitute

Aquabrom Eye Drop contains Bromfenac and Moxifloxacin. Bromfenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (pain reliever) that works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of certain chemical substances such as prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling after cataract surgery. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting DNA gyrase (bacterial enzyme) involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and clears the infection.

You are not recommended to wear contact lenses while using Aquabrom Eye Drop as it contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that changes the color of the contact lens as it may be absorbed by soft contact lens. Benzalkonium chloride also causes irritation in the eye especially if you have disorders of the cornea (transparent layer at the front of the eye) or dry eyes. Therefore, you are advised to remove contact lenses before applying Aquabrom Eye Drop and reinsert after 15 minutes of using Aquabrom Eye Drop. Also, inform your doctor if you experience pain, stinging, or abnormal sensation in the eye after using Aquabrom Eye Drop.

You are recommended to maintain a time gap of a minimum of 5 minutes between using Aquabrom Eye Drop and other eye drops. However, please consult a doctor before using other medicines with Aquabrom Eye Drop.

You are not recommended to stop using Aquabrom Eye Drop without consulting your doctor as it may rarely flare-up inflammatory response such as retina swelling or worsen the infection.
