1. WHAT IS OCUFEN AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
OCUFEN belongs to the group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) .
OCUFEN is used for the treatment of painful and non-infectious inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment of the eye, particularly for cataract surgery.
2. BEFORE USING OCUFEN
Do not use OCUFEN:
- If you are allergic(hypersensitive) to flurbiprofen or any of the other ingredients of OCUFEN. Take particular care with OCUFEN:
Due to cross-sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, OCUFEN should be administered with caution in subjects who have experienced allergic reactions to these drugs.
It is known in the literature that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding time by interfering with platelet aggregation. It has been found that the use of the drug during ocular surgery may cause increased bleeding of the ocular tissues (including hyphema).
Therefore, it is advisable to use it with caution in patients with impaired blood clotting or who are undergoing therapy with drugs that prolong coagulation time.
The healing of corneal ulcers may be delayed with the use of OCUFEN.
Patients with a history of keratitis due to herpes simplex must be carefully monitored.
Use of OCUFEN with other medicines
The interaction of OCUFEN with other topical ophthalmic drugs has not been fully evaluated.
Although pre-clinical studies on carbacol, and pre-clinical and clinical studies on acetylchlorine, have never shown interactions with OCUFEN, an ineffectiveness of both drugs has been reported when administered to patients taking OCUFEN ophthalmically.
It is known in the literature that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding time by interfering with platelet aggregation. It has been found that the use of the drug during ocular surgery may cause increased bleeding of the ocular tissues (including hyphema).
If you use OCUFEN with other eye drops, allow at least 5 minutes to pass between taking OCUFEN and taking the other eye drops.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including those without a prescription.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
There are limited data on the use of flurbiprofen in pregnancy. Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity.
OCUFEN is not recommended during pregnancy.
It is not known whether flurbiprofen or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. A decision must be made regarding the discontinuation of breastfeeding or the use of OCUFEN considering the benefit of breastfeeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the mother.
Driving and using machines
OCUFEN slightly alters the ability to drive vehicles or use machines.
Patients may experience transient blurred vision immediately after using OCUFEN. In this case, patients should not drive or use machinery until vision returns to normal.
3. HOW TO USE OCUFEN
As prescribed by your doctor.
Always use OCUFEN exactly as your doctor has instructed. If you have any doubts, consult your
doctor or pharmacist.
Use in children: the safety and efficacy of Ocufen in pediatric patients has not been established.
Instructions for use
Do not use the vial if the tamper-evident seal on the neck of the vial is broken
before you even use it. Apply the eye drops in the following way:

- 1. Wash your hands. Tilt your head back and look up.
- 2. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a small “pocket”.
- 3. Turn the bottle upside down and squeeze the bottle to instill one drop of eye drops into each eye that needs treatment.
- 4. Release your lower eyelid and close your eye for 30 seconds. If the drop does not enter your eye, repeat the operation.
To avoid contamination, the tip of the bottle must not touch either the eye or come into
contact with anything else.
Dispose of the vial immediately after use.
After use, place the remaining vials in the bag and fold it over.
Correct application of the eye drops is very important. If you have any doubts, ask your
doctor or pharmacist
If you use more OCUFEN than you should
Any overdose of OCUFEN is unlikely to cause acute toxic effects.
In case of accidental ingestion of the eye drops, simply drink fluids to dilute it.
If you forget to use OCUFEN
If you forget a dose, instill the eye drops as soon as you remember, unless it is almost
time for the next dose, in which case you should skip the missed dose.
Then, take the next dose as usual and continue with the normal timing of
administration.
Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you stop using OCUFEN
OCUFEN must be used exactly as your doctor has instructed.
If you have any doubts about using OCUFEN, ask your doctor or pharmacist
