Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop

Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop is a bromfenac eye drop used to help relieve eye pain and inflammation. Each drop contains bromfenac 0.09%, which belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is commonly prescribed for inflammation and discomfort after eye surgery or for other doctor-diagnosed eye conditions that need NSAID treatment. Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop is for use in the eye only and should be used exactly as directed by an eye care professional.

How it works: Bromfenac works by blocking the body’s production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and swelling. In Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop, this action happens right on the eye’s surface to help calm inflammation and discomfort.

Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard-strength bromfenac eye drop, not an oral tablet or a stronger systemic medicine. Because it is a 0.09% eye drop, it delivers medicine directly to the eye surface, which can help reduce inflammation with less whole-body exposure than medicine taken by mouth. A doctor may choose this strength when targeted eye treatment is appropriate and the goal is local relief after an eye procedure or for another eye condition.

• Relief of eye inflammation
• Relief of eye pain after surgery
• Reduction of eye redness related to inflammation
• Doctor-directed treatment of ocular swelling
• Post-operative eye care

• Use Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye, not by mouth.
• Wash your hands before and after instilling the drop.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.
• If contact lenses are allowed by your doctor, remove them before putting in the drop and reinsert only when your doctor says it is safe.
• Follow the exact schedule prescribed; do not use extra drops to make it work faster.

Hibrom 0.09% 5 mL Eye Drop provides bromfenac 0.09% per drop, which is the strength delivered directly to the eye. The exact frequency depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions; some patients use it once or twice daily, but the prescribed schedule may differ. Do not exceed the amount or number of doses your doctor recommends.

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

• Use caution if you have had recent eye surgery or corneal problems, because NSAID eye drops can be risky in some eye conditions.
