How does Bromfenac Sodium 0.09% Eye Drops work?

  • Bromfenac sodium is a typical anti-inflammatory agent.
  • Its mechanism of action is believed to be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and 2. Prostaglandins have been shown in several animal models to be mediators of certain types of intraocular inflammation. In animal eye studies, prostaglandins have been shown to cause disruption of the blood-aqueous humor barrier, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, leukocytosis, and increased intraocular pressure.
