Sofenac Eye Drop

Sofenac Eye Drop is a diclofenac ophthalmic solution used to reduce eye inflammation and pain. Each eye drop contains diclofenac at the strength listed on the pack, and it belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. Sofenac Eye Drop is used for eye inflammation after surgery, eye pain, and other short-term inflammatory eye conditions when a doctor recommends an NSAID eye drop.

How it works: Diclofenac blocks the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes that help the body make prostaglandins, which are chemicals that drive swelling, pain, and redness. In Sofenac Eye Drop, this action happens in the eye tissues, helping calm inflammation right at the surface of the eye.

Sofenac Eye Drop is a standard prescription eye-drop strength in the diclofenac eye-care range, so it is suited to people who need local anti-inflammatory treatment directly in the eye. Because it is applied as drops rather than taken by mouth, it acts where it is needed and may be chosen when a doctor wants targeted relief with less whole-body exposure than oral NSAIDs. The exact frequency depends on the eye condition being treated and your prescriber’s instructions.

• Eye inflammation after surgery
• Eye pain and redness
• Inflammatory eye conditions
• Doctor-directed short-term NSAID eye treatment

• Wash your hands before using Sofenac Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drops; do not rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 to 10 minutes, unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Use Sofenac Eye Drop exactly as prescribed and do not stop early unless your doctor tells you to.

Sofenac Eye Drop provides diclofenac in the strength listed on the box for ophthalmic use, and the dose is measured in drops rather than tablets or capsules. The usual frequency can vary by condition, but the doctor decides how many times per day it should be used and how long treatment should continue. Do not use more than the prescribed number of drops per day, because eye-drop dosing is individualized and depends on the reason it was prescribed.

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

Common side effects of Diclofenac may include:

• Temporary burning or stinging in the eye
• Blurred vision right after the drop
• Eye irritation or redness
• Watery eyes
• Mild eye discomfort
• Sensitivity to light

• Do not use Sofenac Eye Drop if you are allergic to diclofenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, especially aspirin-sensitive asthma, because NSAIDs can trigger reactions in some people.
• Use caution if you have a history of bleeding problems or delayed wound healing, especially after eye surgery.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye to reduce contamination and infection risk.
• Do not wear contact lenses unless your eye doctor says it is okay, especially right after eye surgery or during active inflammation.
• Your vision may be blurred briefly after instilling the drop, so wait until it clears before driving or operating machinery.
• Tell your doctor about all other eye medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines you use, including oral NSAIDs.

• Other NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and naproxen
• Aspirin
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, apixaban, or rivaroxaban
• Other prescription eye drops, especially if used at the same time without spacing
• Topical corticosteroid eye drops, if your doctor is monitoring healing
