Introduction

Uses
Unibrom Bak Free is commonly prescribed for the treatment of eye inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. It can also be used to manage inflammation associated with other eye conditions, such as non-infectious uveitis and dry eye syndrome.
Dosage and Administration
For adults, the usual dosage of Unibrom Bak Free is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the exact dosage and duration of treatment.

Mechanism of Action
Bromfenac, the active ingredient in Unibrom Bak Free, belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by inhibiting the production of certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing inflammation in the eyes, Bromfenac helps alleviate discomfort and promote healing.

These side effects are usually temporary and should subside on their own. However, if they persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe eye pain, eye redness, swelling, or vision changes. If you experience any of these serious side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
