Bromfenac sodium hydrate is primarily used in ophthalmology as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. The medication is administered as an eye drop, which helps to alleviate postoperative discomfort and swelling in the eye. Additionally, it is effective in treating inflammation associated with other eye conditions, such as conjunctivitis and uveitis. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable option for managing ocular inflammation, promoting faster recovery, and improving patient comfort after eye procedures.
