Bromfenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)[2] marketed in the US as an ophthalmic solution (brand names Prolensa and Bromday,[3] prior formulation brand name Xibrom, which has since been discontinued) by ISTA Pharmaceuticals for short-term, local use. Prolensa and Bromday are the once-daily formulation of bromfenac, while Xibrom was approved for twice-daily administration. In the European Union, the brand name is Yellox. Bromfenac is indicated for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain after cataract surgery.[4]
