Diclofenac Sodium 0.1% Eye Drops Ophthalmic Solution 5 mL (RX)

Diclofenac Sodium 0.1% Eye Drops Ophthalmic Solution is used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the eyes after cataract surgery or ocular injury. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it works by inhibiting substances in the body that cause inflammation. These eye drops are also used to manage symptoms of postoperative pain, redness, and swelling. They are administered directly into the affected eyes, ensuring targeted relief and promoting healing in post-surgical or injured eyes.

Diclofenac Sodium 0.1% Eye Drops Ophthalmic Solution by Bausch & Lomb provides effective relief for ocular pain and inflammation, particularly for patients undergoing eye surgery or experiencing external eye irritation. Manufactured with precision and care, these eye drops are an essential addition to any ophthalmic treatment regimen, offering non-steroidal anti-inflammatory action to soothe and safeguard ocular health.

Details and Features:

Active Ingredient: Diclofenac Sodium 0.1%
Volume: 5 mL per bottle
Formulation: Sterile aqueous ophthalmic solution
Manufacturer: Bausch & Lomb, renowned for high-quality ophthalmic solutions

Indications: 

• Used to treat postoperative inflammation in patients who have undergone cataract extraction or corneal refractive surgery, as well as relief from non-surgery-related eye inflammation and pain
  
• Convenient Packaging: Designed for ease of use with a dropper tip for precise application

Mechanism of Action:

Diclofenac Sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), an enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a pivotal role in manifesting inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the formation of these compounds, Diclofenac Sodium effectively reduces ocular inflammation and relieves associated pain and discomfort.

Directions for Use:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops.
2. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
3. Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually 3-4 times a day.
4. To avoid contamination, do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface.
5. Close your eye gently and press the inner corner for 1-2 minutes to prevent the solution from draining into the tear duct.
6. If you have been prescribed other eye medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes before applying other products.
