Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
As with other NSAIDs, this drug reduces prostaglandin synthesis by reducing cyclooxegenase (COX) activity. Trauma to the eye may increase release of endogenous prostaglandin and this leads to constriction of the iris sphincter. Suprofen is used to prevent this occurring during eye surgery where the surgeon requires the pupil to be open.
