SUN-OPH-BRO-141 09/2016 Indications and Usage BromSite™ (bromfenac ophthalmic solution) 0.075% is a nonsteroidal anti-in ammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the treatment of postoperative in ammation and prevention of ocular pain in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Important Safety Information • Slow or Delayed Healing: All topical nonsteroidal anti- in ammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including BromSite (bromfenac ophthalmic solution) 0.075%, may slow or delay healing. Topical corticosteroids are also known to slow or delay healing. Concomitant use of topical NSAIDs and topical steroids may increase the potential for healing problems. • Potential for Cross-Sensitivity: There is the potential for cross-sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid derivatives, and other NSAIDs, including BromSite (bromfenac ophthalmic solution) 0.075%. Therefore, caution should be used when treating individuals who have previously exhibited sensitivities to these drugs. • Increased Bleeding Time of Ocular Tissue: With some NSAIDs, including BromSite (bromfenac ophthalmic solution) 0.075%, there exists the potential for increased bleeding time due to interference with platelet aggregation. There have been reports that ocularly applied NSAIDs may cause increased bleeding of ocular tissues (including hyphemas) in conjunction with ocular surgery. It is recommended that BromSite be used with caution in patients with known bleeding tendencies or who are receiving other medications which may prolong bleeding time. • Use of topical NSAIDs may result in keratitis. Patients with evidence of corneal epithelial breakdown should immediately discontinue use of topical NSAIDs, including BromSite (bromfenac ophthalmic solution) 0.075%, and should be closely monitored for corneal health.

Topical NSAIDs should be used with caution in these patients. Post-marketing experience with topical NSAIDs also suggests that use more than 24 hours prior to surgery or use beyond 14 days postsurgery may increase patient risk for the occurrence and severity of corneal adverse events. • BromSite should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. The preservative in BromSite, benzalkonium chloride, may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. • The most commonly reported adverse reactions in 1% to 8% of patients were anterior chamber in ammation, headache, vitreous oaters, iritis, eye pain, and ocular hypertension.
