CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Flurbiprofen sodium is one of a series of phenylalkanoic acids that
have shown analgesic, antipyretic,
and anti-inflammatory activity in animal inflammatory diseases. Its
mechanism of action is believed to be
through inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme that is essential in
the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins have been shown in many animal models to be mediators
of certain kinds of intraocular
inflammation. In studies performed on animal eyes, prostaglandins have
been shown to produce
disruption of the blood-aqueous humor barrier, vasodilatation,
increased vascular permeability,

leukocytosis, and increased intraocular pressure.
Prostaglandins also appear to play a role in the miotic response
produced during ocular surgery by
constricting the iris sphincter independently of cholinergic
mechanisms. In clinical studies,
Flurbiprofen Sodium Ophthalmic Solution has been shown to inhibit the
miosis induced during the
course of cataract surgery.
Results from clinical studies indicate that flurbiprofen sodium has no
significant effect upon intraocular
pressure.
