About this product
Overview
Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops contain Diclofenac Sodium as its active ingredient. Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. In the form of eye drops, it is specifically formulated for ophthalmic use to treat certain eye conditions associated with inflammation and pain.
Uses
Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops are prescribed for the treatment of eye inflammation following cataract surgery, corneal abrasions, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and other conditions causing eye pain and discomfort. Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that contribute to inflammation and pain.
Dosage
The dosage of Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops is determined based on the specific condition being treated and the severity of symptoms. It is typically instilled into the affected eye(s) as directed by a healthcare professional. The usual dosage regimen involves applying one or two drops into the affected eye(s) several times a day, depending on the severity of inflammation.
Side Effects
Common side effects associated with Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops may include temporary stinging or burning sensation in the eyes, blurred vision, eye irritation, redness, or sensitivity to light. These side effects are usually mild and transient. However, patients should seek medical attention if they experience severe eye pain, changes in vision, or signs of allergic reactions.
Precautions
Before using Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops, individuals should inform their healthcare provider about any pre-existing eye conditions, allergies, or medications they are currently taking. It is important to avoid touching the tip of the dropper to the eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Contact lenses should be removed before instilling the eye drops and may be reinserted after 15 minutes.
When Not to Use
Dofnac 5ml Eye Drops should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Diclofenac Sodium or any other components of the medication. It is also contraindicated in individuals with active peptic ulcers, bleeding disorders, or a history of asthma, as NSAIDs may exacerbate these conditions.
