About Flurbiprofen

What is this medication?

Flurbiprofen is a prescription medication classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID. It is most commonly used to relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, including pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. The drug works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are natural substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain during an injury or illness.

In addition to treating chronic joint conditions, flurbiprofen can also be used for the short-term management of acute pain, such as dental pain or menstrual cramps. Because it is a potent medication, it is typically taken at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible to avoid potential side effects like stomach irritation or cardiovascular risks. Patients are often advised to take the medication with a full glass of water or food to help protect the digestive system.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution is contraindicated in individuals who are hypersensitive to any components of the medication.

Warnings

WARNINGS With some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, there exists the potential for increased bleeding time due to interference with thrombocyte aggregation. There have been reports that flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution may cause increased bleeding of ocular tissues (including hyphemas) in conjunction with ocular surgery. There is the potential for cross-sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, caution should be used when treating individuals who have previously exhibited sensitivities to these drugs.

Drug interactions

Drug Interactions Interaction of flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution with other topical ophthalmic medications has not been fully investigated. Although clinical studies with acetylcholine chloride and animal studies with acetylcholine chloride or carbachol revealed no interference, and there is no known pharmacological basis for an interaction, there have been reports that acetylcholine chloride and carbachol have been ineffective when used in patients treated with flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution.

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS Transient burning and stinging upon instillation and other minor symptoms of ocular irritation have been reported with the use of flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution. Other adverse reactions reported with the use of flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution include: fibrosis, hyphema, miosis, mydriasis, and ocular hyperemia. Increased bleeding tendency of ocular tissues in conjunction with ocular surgery has also been reported [see Warnings ]. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bausch & Lomb Incorporated at 1-800-553-5340 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy Flurbiprofen has been shown to be embryocidal, delay parturition, prolong gestation, reduce weight, and/or slightly retard growth of fetuses when given to rats in daily oral doses of 0.4 mg/kg (approximately 300 times the human daily topical dose) and above. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Flurbiprofen sodium ophthalmic solution should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
