Introduction
Megabrom Eye Drop is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat postoperative eye pain and inflammation. It works by stopping the release of certain natural substances in the eye that are responsible for pain and inflammation. Always wash your hands before using Megabrom Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed and wait for about five minutes between each drop. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. You should not touch the tip of the dropper or bottle. This may lead to infection. Use of the medicine may cause blurred vision, increased sensitivity to light, change in color vision, decreased vision, eye pain, sore eyes, and teary eye. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. However, if they persist or get worse, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms.
