Administer Ocubro 0.09 % Eye Drops 5 ML as follows:

Always ensure your hands are clean before using the drops.
Tilt your head back slightly and pull down on your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

Close your eye and gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct.

Ocubro 0.09 % Eye Drops 5 ML may have the following common side effects:

Abnormal sensations in the eye: This could include a feeling of something in your eye or a slight stinging sensation.
Redness of the eyes
Burning or itching sensation in the eyes
Eye pain: You may feel discomfort or aching in or around your eyes.
Headache

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Ocubro 0.09 % Eye Drops 5 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

The active ingredient in Ocubro 0.09 % Eye Drops 5 ML are Bromfenac (0.09%). It works on your body in the following ways:

Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes inhibition: Bromfenac effectively blocks the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes in your body. These enzymes are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are key mediators of inflammation and pain.
Decreases inflammation and pain: By inhibiting the COX enzymes, Bromfenac disrupts the production of prostaglandins. This action effectively reduces inflammation and alleviates pain in the eye after cataract surgery, helping speed up the recovery process.
