The active ingredient in Bromfenac eye drops works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and swelling.
◉ By blocking the production of prostaglandins, Bromfenac eye drops help to reduce the pain and inflammation in the eye after surgery, allowing for faster healing and better vision.
