Warnings & Recalls for Bromday

Warnings & Precautions while taking Bromday

As an NSAID medication, Bromday interferes with the body's inflammatory response. This can interfere with and delay the healing process, resulting in a longer downtime after surgery. Bromday may also cause an increased chance for bleeding in the eye, and should be used with caution in patients who have a history of bleeding disorders or who are taking medications which contain components that can cause excessive bleeding. Patients with a history of eye surgery complications, conditions which affect the cornea, diabetes, conditions that cause eye dryness, rheumatoid arthritis, or who have multiple eye surgeries spanning a short period of time should exercise caution when using Bromday, as they may be at an increased risk for conditions which can damage the cornea. Patients who are pregnant or nursing should use this medication with caution, as it is unknown whether Bromday can cause any side effects in nursing children or unborn babies. Bromday should not be used in patients under the age of 18. Contact lenses should not be worn during application of this medication.

By interfering with these chemicals, Bromday is able to help patients manage eye inflammation and irritation that can occur after cataract surgery.
