Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop

Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop is a bromfenac ophthalmic solution used to reduce pain and inflammation in the eye. Each 5 mL bottle contains bromfenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), in eye-drop form. It is commonly used after eye surgery or for other eye inflammation when a doctor wants to control swelling and discomfort. Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye rather than affecting the whole body like an oral pain medicine.

How it works: Bromfenac blocks substances in the eye that cause pain, redness, and swelling. As an eye drop, Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the eye surface for local anti-inflammatory action.

Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard eye-drop bottle size, so it is meant for people who have been assessed by a doctor and need a topical bromfenac formulation for eye use. Because it is an eye drop, it acts directly at the site of inflammation and is chosen when a doctor wants targeted treatment with less whole-body exposure than an oral NSAID. The exact dosing schedule depends on the condition being treated and the prescriber’s plan.

• Post-eye-surgery inflammation
• Eye pain after surgery
• Swelling in the eye
• Redness related to ocular inflammation
• Doctor-directed short-term eye inflammation treatment

• Use Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop only as prescribed for your eye condition.
• Wash your hands before and after putting in the drops.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait before putting them back in, unless your doctor says otherwise.
• If you are using other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor instructs you differently.
• Close the eye gently after instilling the drop and avoid rubbing it.

Z Brom 5 mL Eye Drop provides bromfenac in a 5 mL ophthalmic bottle, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on your doctor’s instructions. It is often used once or twice daily, but the maximum amount per day should be set by the prescriber for your specific eye condition. Do not change the frequency on your own, even if the eye feels better.

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

Common side effects of Bromfenac may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Blurred vision right after use
• Eye itching or redness
• Watery eyes
• Sensitivity to light

• Use only in the affected eye(s) as directed by a doctor.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, aspirin sensitivity, or allergy to NSAIDs.
• Use caution if you have a history of bleeding problems or are taking blood thinners.
• Do not wear contact lenses while your eye is irritated unless your eye doctor says it is okay.
• If you have had complicated eye surgery or a corneal problem, tell your doctor before using this drop.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery right after use if your vision is blurred.
• Do not use longer or more often than prescribed, because eye NSAIDs can raise the risk of eye complications.

• Other ophthalmic NSAIDs
• Topical corticosteroid eye drops
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, if your doctor is monitoring bleeding risk
• Aspirin or other NSAID medicines
• Other eye drops unless spaced apart as directed
