Bromfenac

Bromfenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), belongs to the class of medications called pain relievers and anti-inflammatory agents. It is primarily used for the treatment of osteoarthritis and acute pain following dental procedures or minor surgeries.
Bromfenac works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling in the body. By blocking prostaglandin synthesis, the medication reduces inflammation, leading to pain relief and improvement of function in affected joints.
Bromfenac is available as both a tablet and an eye drop formulation. The oral form of the medication is typically used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in osteoarthritis, while the eye drop formulation is used to treat post-surgical pain and inflammation in the eye following cataract surgery or corneal refractive procedures.
Some common side effects of Bromfenac may include headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and constipation. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms while taking this medication, as these may require further evaluation and potential treatment adjustments.
As with any medication, use Bromfenac only under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to adhere to the prescribed dosing schedule. This will help ensure optimal outcomes and minimize the risk of potential side effects or complications.
