About Bromodrop Eye Drops 5 ml

Bromodrop Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to ophthalmic eye medications used to reduce eye inflammation after cataract surgery in adults. Eye inflammation after cataract surgery is a common condition in which eyes become swollen and red.

Bromodrop Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination of two drugs: Bromfenac (analgesic) and Benzalkonium (preservative). Bromfenac belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (pain killers) that work by inhibiting the release of certain natural substances such as prostaglandins in the eye that cause pain and inflammation. Thereby, helps in relieving eye pain and swelling after cataract surgery. Benzalkonium acts as a preservative.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cataract surgery: It is done to remove the eye's natural lens that has become cloudy and replace it with an artificial lens to restore clear eyesight. Eye inflammation may occur in some patients after cataract surgery due to disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier, which causes the release of certain inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. The pain, swelling and redness of the eye is normal after cataract surgery and is treated using topical corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
