Diflumac 0.05% Drop
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Diflumac 0.05% Drop is a steroid. It is used in the treatment of pain and swelling in the eyes caused by infection or allergy after eye surgery. It works by preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Diflumac 0.05% Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the eye drop and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
