What is Niflan (Pranoprofen) used for?

Niflan (Pranoprofen) is an ophthtalmic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication used to treat irritation caused by dry eyes or irritation caused by mild trauma. It operates by preventing the action of enzymes released in response to injury that cause the pain, swelling, and irritation associated with these conditions. It is commonly used to treat chronic dry eyes, swelling caused by mild injury, or irritation following surgery. Your physician may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Niflan (Pranoprofen)?

Niflan (Pranoprofen) should be used according to the instructions provided by your physician and those included with the packaging to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One drop is normally administered to the affected eye once or twice each day, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, current health, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be administered by tilting the head backward, gently pulling down the lower lid of the eye being treated, holding the bottle over the eye, and dispensing one drop into the eye. Slowly close the eye to spread the medication and keep it closed for thirty seconds to allow the medicine to be absorbed. Never allow the tip of the bottle to contact any foreign surfaces as this may cause contamination. Always observe the medication before each use to make sure it is not cloudy or discolored as this may indicate contamination. Wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the solution from contacting any other areas or mucous membranes. Ask your physician any questions you have about using the medication to ensure the correct administration.

What are the side effects of Niflan (Pranoprofen)?

Niflan (Pranoprofen) may cause side effects in some patients such as:

• Mild redness or irritation of the eye
• Slight stinging sensation
• Watering eyes
• Slightly blurry vision

Stop using the medicine and contact your physician as soon as possible if any serious or worrying side effects occur such as severe stinging or pain of the eye, headaches, flu symptoms, crusting, discharge from the eye, blurry vision, or signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, skin rashes, swelling, or trouble breathing. These conditions may require reduced application frequency or immediate medical attention in serious or life threatening cases to prevent further health complications from occurring.

This medication should not be used to treat patients who are allergic to pranoprofen, who have had a bad reaction to similar treatments in the past, or who have any conditions affecting the lens of the eye.
