Dorlol Eye Drop

Dorlol Eye Drop is a medication containing Mefenamic Acid as its active ingredient. Mefenamic Acid belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While commonly used in oral form for pain relief and inflammation, it’s unusual to find it in eye drops, as its primary administration is oral. However, it may be used in ophthalmology for specific conditions under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
