Broact Eye Drop

Broact Eye Drop belongs to ophthalmic eye medications primarily used to treat bacterial eye infections and reduce eye inflammation after cataract surgery in adults. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a common bacterial eye infection associated with the conjunctiva's inflammation or infection (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. Eye inflammation after cataract surgery is a common condition in which eyes become swollen and red.  

Broact Eye Drop is a combination of two drugs: Bromfenac (analgesic) and Moxifloxacin (antibiotic). Bromfenac belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (pain relievers) that works by blocking cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body production of certain chemical substances such as prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling after cataract surgery. Moxifloxacin belongs to the class of antibiotics that inhibits a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase required to survive a bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and prevents the spread of the infection in the eye.

You are advised to use Broact Eye Drop for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience mild eye irritation, eye pain, discomfort in the eye, seeing floaters or flashes of light before the eyes, or increased sensitivity of eyes to light.

Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling after cataract surgery. Moxifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria. It inhibits DNA gyrase (bacterial enzyme) in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and clears the infection.

Cataract surgery is done to remove the eye's natural lens that has become cloudy and replace it with an artificial lens to restore clear eyesight. Eye inflammation may occur in some patients after cataract surgery due to disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier, which causes the release of specific inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. The pain, swelling, and redness of the eye are normal after cataract surgery and are treated using topical corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. 

Bacterial eye infections: The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, or keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. It is a highly contagious infection that spread by secretions of the eye. Symptoms include redness, itchy, and discharge or crusting around the eye. A stye, a bump on the eyelid, is also a common eye condition. Keratitis, inflammation of the cornea occurs due to frequent contact lenses, injury, diabetes, or surgery.
