NEPANAC EYE DROP 5ML
NEPANAC 0.1% Eye Drops 5ml contains Nepafenac 0.1% (1mg/ml), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) formulated as an ophthalmic suspension.
Nepafenac is converted in the eye to its active form, amfenac, which helps reduce the production of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation. It is primarily used under ophthalmologist supervision for pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.

How to Use
Use exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
For postoperative cataract-surgery use, official nepafenac prescribing information commonly specifies one drop in the affected eye once daily, beginning before surgery and continuing through the prescribed postoperative period. The exact duration and dosing should be determined by the treating ophthalmologist.
Important: Shake the ophthalmic suspension well before use if instructed on the pack.
How to Apply Eye Drops

- Shake the bottle as directed.
- Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid.
- Instill the prescribed number of drops without touching the eye or eyelashes with the dropper tip.
- Close the eye gently after application.
- Replace the cap immediately after use.
