Uses
Megabrom 5ml is used to reduce eye pain, swelling, and inflammation after cataract surgery.
How to use Megabrom 5ml Eye Drop?
Wash your hands before applying. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid. Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out one drop into the eye. Close your eye for a minute and avoid blinking or rubbing.
Use the drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Replace the cap tightly after each use.
How does it work?
Megabrom 5ml contains Bromfenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the action of certain enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that produce prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for inflammation, pain, and swelling in the eye.
By reducing prostaglandin levels, Megabrom effectively minimizes post-surgical inflammation and discomfort, promoting faster healing after cataract surgery without the side effects commonly associated with steroid-based eye drops.
