SOLUTION, 0.1% (STERILE)
DESCRIPTION:
Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.1% is a sterile, topical,
non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory
product for ophthalmic use. Diclofenac Sodium is designated chemically
as 2-[(2,6-
dichlorophenyl)amino] benzeneacetic acid, monosodium salt, with an
empirical formula of
C
H CI NO Na. The structural formula of diclofenac sodium is:
Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic is available as a sterile solution, which
contains diclofenac sodium
0.1% (1 mg/mL).

Diclofenac Sodium is a faintly yellow-white to light-beige, slightly
hygroscopic crystalline powder. It
is freely soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in water, very
slightly soluble in acetonitrile, and
insoluble in chloroform and in 0.1N hydrochloric acid. Its molecular
weight is 318.14. Diclofenac
Sodium Ophthalmic 0.1% is an iso-osmotic solution with an osmolality
of about 300 mOsmol/1000 g,

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Diclofenac Sodium is one of a series of phenylacetic acids that has
demonstrated anti-inflammatory and
analgesic properties in pharmacological studies. It is thought to
inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase,
which is essential in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.
ANIMAL STUDIES
Prostaglandins have been shown in many animal models to be mediators
of certain kinds of intraocular
inflammation. In studies performed in animal eyes, prostaglandins have
been shown to produce
disruption of the blood-aqueous humor barrier, vasodilation, increased
vascular permeability,
leukocytosis, and increased intraocular pressure.
