Dosage:

Flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution is available in the following strength:
• Ophthalmic Solution: 0.3 mg/ml in 10 mL bottles.

The usual dose for cataract or other eye surgery is 1 drop into the eye undergoing surgery, beginning 2 hours before the procedure, repeated at approximately 30-minute intervals for a total of 4 drops. Your doctor will confirm the exact dosing schedule for your procedure.

Usage:

Ocufen (flurbiprofen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the eye before, during, and after eye surgery to reduce inflammation and swelling, and specifically to inhibit the constriction of the pupil (miosis) that can occur during cataract surgery. Your doctor may also use it to treat other eye conditions.

Mechanism of Action
Flurbiprofen, the active ingredient in Ocufen, inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, chemical messengers the eye releases in response to the mechanical stimulation of surgery. Because prostaglandins can cause the pupil to constrict during surgery, blocking their production with Ocufen helps keep the pupil dilated, making cataract and other eye surgeries easier to perform. This same anti-inflammatory action also reduces swelling, redness, and eye pain.

Use Ocufen exactly as your doctor prescribes. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Ocufen, discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Ocufen (flurbiprofen). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These side effects may go away during treatment; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Burning, stinging, or irritation of the eye

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Delayed or slow wound healing after eye surgery.
• Increased bleeding of eye tissue: Ocufen can inhibit platelet function and prolong bleeding time, which may increase bleeding during or after eye surgery.
• Severe allergic reaction: Rash, itching, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Ocufen, discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not use Ocufen if:
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to flurbiprofen or any ingredient in the solution.
• You have had previous sensitivity reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Ocufen. This is crucial as certain conditions affect the drug's safety.
• A bleeding disorder or a tendency toward prolonged bleeding.
• Any condition affecting wound healing.

Drug Interactions:

Before using Ocufen, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the product monograph at https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00049655.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Ocufen. Ocufen may interact with other medicines, including but not limited to:
• Other Topical Eye Medications: We have not fully evaluated interactions with other topical ophthalmic drugs; tell your doctor about all eye drops or ointments you use.
• Blood Thinners: Combining these with Ocufen may increase the risk of bleeding of eye tissue during surgery.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

It is not known whether flurbiprofen crosses the placenta, and its systemic absorption after topical eye use appears minimal, though this has not been fully characterized. Flurbiprofen is distributed into breast milk after being taken by mouth, but it is not known whether it passes into milk after being applied to the eye. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding to discuss the risks and benefits.

Use in Children:

The safety and effectiveness of Ocufen in children have not been well established, so your doctor should guide its use in this age group.

Why is Ocufen more affordable in Canada than in the United States?
