Mobifen Eye Drop 0.10% contains Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for ophthalmic use. It is designed to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling in the eyes, particularly following ocular surgery or injury. The eye drop formulation allows targeted delivery to the affected area, providing effective relief while minimizing systemic side effects.

Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Diclofenac Sodium 0.10% w/v (Ophthalmic)
