Effectiveness
How Profenal Affects PatientsSuprofen is a painkiller and fever reducer that helps to prevent the pupil in the eye from getting smaller during some types of eye surgery. This makes it easier for the surgeon to access different parts of the eye.
How Profenal works in the bodySuprofen works to reduce pain and inflammation in the eyes by blocking the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are molecules released from cells in response to trauma, and act as messengers of inflammation. By blocking their production, Suprofen can reduce inflammation and prevent pupil constriction during surgery.

Profenal Reviews: What are patients saying about Profenal?
5Patient Review
6/14/2009 Ephedrine is very addictive. I've been trying to quit for 10 years now and it's been difficult. It's sort of like 'legal meth' because your tolerance builds and you have to take more and more over time. I don't advise anyone to start using this drug.

6/6/2010 I took this medication for many years, and it definitely helped with my asthma and fatigue. However, I developed a problem where I was taking close to 1500mg per day. I'm glad it was banned; I could have easily died from taking that much. It's been seven years since I quit and I still crave it sometimes. This med fried my thyroid, and now have chf, emphsema, copd, severe anxiety, just to name a few issues
