BFN 5 mL Eye Drop

BFN 5 mL Eye Drop is a bromfenac ophthalmic solution used to reduce eye pain and inflammation. Each BFN 5 mL Eye Drop bottle contains bromfenac in a 5 mL eye-drop form, and bromfenac belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is commonly used after eye surgery, especially cataract surgery, to help control swelling and discomfort. BFN 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye rather than as a whole-body pain medicine.

How it works: Bromfenac blocks substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, redness, and swelling in the eye. When used as BFN 5 mL Eye Drop, it acts directly at the eye surface to lower inflammation where it is needed.

BFN 5 mL Eye Drop is the standard 5 mL eye-drop presentation, which is convenient for short-term treatment courses prescribed by an eye doctor. Because this product is already in eye-drop form, it is designed for direct use in the eye and is chosen when targeted anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. Since there are no other strengths or forms in this brand line listed here, BFN 5 mL Eye Drop fits typical bromfenac ophthalmic dosing prescribed for postoperative eye care.

• Post-cataract surgery inflammation
• Post-surgical eye pain relief
• Reduction of eye swelling
• Control of eye redness from inflammation

• Use BFN 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after using the eye drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before using BFN 5 mL Eye Drop and ask your doctor when you may wear them again.

The product is a 5 mL bromfenac eye-drop bottle, so the dose is measured in drops, not milligrams per use. Many patients use bromfenac eye drops once or twice daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily use depend on the surgery or condition being treated and must be set by the doctor. Do not use more often than prescribed, even though the bottle is 5 mL, because the right dose for BFN 5 mL Eye Drop is individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
