Diclofenac sodium eye drops

Function and Efficacy

Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic derived from phenylacetic acid. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase, thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. At the same time, it can also promote the combination of arachidonic acid with triglycerides, reduce the concentration of free arachidonic acid in cells, and indirectly inhibit the synthesis of leukotrienes. Animal experiments have confirmed that prostaglandins are one of the mediators of intraocular inflammation, which can lead to blood-aqueous barrier collapse, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, leukocyte chemotaxis, non-cholinergic mechanism pupil constriction, etc. Diclofenac sodium is a stronger non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its inhibitory effect on prostaglandin synthesis is stronger than that of aspirin and indomethacin. Diclofenac sodium eye drops have a strong inhibitory effect on the collapse of the blood-aqueous barrier caused by mechanical, chemical, biological and other stimuli. Clinical studies have shown that 0.1% diclofenac sodium can reduce the flare and cell count in the anterior chamber in the treatment of post-cataract surgery inflammation; it can relieve postoperative pain and photophobia in patients undergoing radial keratectomy or laser refractive keratectomy, and is better than placebo.

The inhibitory effect of diclofenac sodium on prostaglandin synthesis is stronger than that of aspirin and indomethacin. Diclofenac sodium eye drops have a strong inhibitory effect on the collapse of the blood-aqueous humor barrier caused by mechanical, chemical, biological and other stimuli. Clinical studies have shown that 0.1% diclofenac sodium can reduce the flare and cell count in the anterior chamber in the treatment of postoperative inflammation of cataract surgery; it can relieve postoperative pain and photophobia in patients undergoing radial corneal incision or laser refractive keratectomy, which is better than placebo.
