Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop

Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription ophthalmic medicine that contains bromfenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the eye. Each drop delivers bromfenac in a 5 mL eye drop bottle for use as directed by an eye care professional. It is used to help reduce eye pain and inflammation, most often after eye surgery such as cataract surgery. Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye, which helps target swelling and discomfort where they occur.

How it works: Bromfenac blocks chemicals in the eye called prostaglandins that cause pain, redness, and swelling. As an eye drop, Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop works directly on the surface of the eye to lower inflammation where it is needed.

Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop is the specific 5 mL bottle size used for a full short course or for patients who need enough medicine for repeated dosing as prescribed. Because it is an eye drop, it is meant for local treatment in the eye rather than a whole-body medicine, and a doctor may choose this format to match the treatment plan and dosing schedule after eye surgery. There are no other listed strengths or forms of Bromvue available here.

• Post-cataract surgery inflammation
• Eye pain after surgery
• Redness due to ocular inflammation
• Doctor-directed short-term eye inflammation relief

• Use Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye(s) your doctor tells you to treat.
• Wash your hands before and after using the bottle.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not wear contact lenses during treatment unless your eye doctor says it is okay.

Bromvue 5 mL Eye Drop provides bromfenac eye drops in a 5 mL bottle, and the exact number of drops and days of treatment are set by the prescribing doctor. It is commonly used once or twice daily depending on the surgical or inflammatory eye condition being treated, and there is no self-chosen maximum daily dose because the doctor determines the schedule for this product.

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