A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory agents are products formulated to be applied in the eyes, to reduce pain or to treat inflammation. Anti-inflammatory agents act against one or more of the mediators that cause inflammation and reduce irritation and swelling in the eyes. Anti-inflammatory eye drops are used after surgery to relieve pain.
