How Xibrom Affects Patients
Bromfenac ophthalmic solution is an eye drop that contains a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce inflammation in the eyes.
How Xibrom works in the body
Acetazolamide works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory molecules. In animal studies, prostaglandins have been shown to cause swelling, leakage of blood vessels, and increased pressure in the eye. Blocking their production can reduce these effects.
