Rotarac LS Eye Drop 0.07% contains Bromfenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for ophthalmic use. It is specifically designed to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with ocular surgery, such as cataract extraction, and other postoperative or inflammatory eye conditions. The “LS” (Low Strength) formulation provides effective anti-inflammatory action with potentially reduced irritation, making it suitable for sensitive eyes.
Bromfenac works by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, preventing the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and discomfort.
