IVYFLUR EYE DROP — POWERFUL POST-SURGICAL & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY RELIEF

Ivyflur is a specialized ophthalmic solution containing Flurbiprofen Sodium, a potent Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). In Nigeria, Ivyflur (distributed by Ivy / Kayhelt Pharma) is a primary clinical tool used by ophthalmologists to manage inflammation and prevent complications during and after eye surgery. Unlike steroid drops, it targets specific pain and inflammatory pathways without the risk of raising internal eye pressure.

What Is Ivyflur Used For?

Ivyflur 0.03% is primarily used for surgical and post-traumatic eye care. It is particularly effective for:

1. Inhibition of Intraoperative Miosis: Preventing the pupil from constricting (shrinking) during cataract surgery, ensuring the surgeon has a clear view.

2. Post-Surgical Inflammation: Reducing redness, swelling, and pain following laser surgery or cataract extraction.

3. Cystoid Macular Edema (CME): Helping to prevent or treat swelling in the central part of the retina after surgery.

4. Non-Infectious Inflammation: Managing inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment of the eye where steroids may be contraindicated.

⚠️ Critical Safety Warning

Slow Healing: Like all NSAID eye drops, Ivyflur can slow down the natural healing process of the cornea. Aspirin/NSAID Allergy: Do not use if you have a known severe allergy to Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs, as "cross-sensitivity" can occur. Bleeding Risk: Use with caution if you have a history of bleeding disorders or are on blood thinners (like Warfarin), as NSAIDs can increase the risk of ocular tissue bleeding during surgery. Contact Lenses: Do not wear contact lenses during treatment unless specifically cleared by your surgeon.

How to Use

The dosage depends strictly on whether it is being used before or after surgery.

Standard Dosage Guidelines:

• Pre-Surgery: Usually one drop every 30 minutes, starting 2 hours before the operation (total of 4 drops).

• Post-Surgery: Typically one drop 4 times daily for 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your surgeon.

Application Technique:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly.

2. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower lid.

3. Apply one drop into the pocket. Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or any surface.

4. Close your eye and gently press the inner corner (near the nose) for 1 minute to keep the medicine in the eye.

5. If using other drops (like antibiotics), wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying the next medication.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects include a temporary stinging or burning sensation immediately after application. Some patients may notice mild blurred vision or increased sensitivity to light. If you experience sudden, severe eye pain, a change in vision, or extreme redness, contact your eye surgeon immediately.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place below $30^{\circ}\text{C}$, away from direct sunlight. Discard the bottle 28 days (4 weeks) after opening to maintain sterility. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Ivyflur an antibiotic?

A: No. It does not kill bacteria. It is often prescribed alongside an antibiotic drop (like Gatifloxacin) to handle the pain and swelling while the antibiotic prevents infection.

Q: Why was I given this instead of a steroid drop?

A: Steroids can sometimes increase eye pressure (glaucoma risk) or suppress the immune system. NSAIDs like Ivyflur provide powerful anti-inflammatory action without those specific side effects.

Q: Can I use it for "Pink Eye" or itching?

A: No. Ivyflur is specifically for surgical or deep tissue inflammation. For common allergies or infections, our pharmacists can recommend more appropriate treatments.
