Flurbiprofen Ophthalmic Solution 0.03% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for ophthalmic use. It is primarily used to reduce inflammation and manage pain in the eyes before or after eye surgery or other ocular procedures.
Flurbiprofen Ophthalmic Solution 0.03% Uses
This medication is used to:
- Prevent or reduce inflammation in the eyes following cataract surgery.
- Maintain pupil dilation during eye surgery.

How Does Flurbiprofen Ophthalmic Solution 0.03% Work
Flurbiprofen inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a critical role in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins contribute to pain, inflammation, and redness. By blocking their production, Flurbiprofen reduces inflammation and prevents narrowing of the pupil during surgical procedures.
