Nepafenac 0.1 % w/v ophthalmic Suspensions
₹270.00
Nepafenac 0.1% w/v ophthalmic suspension is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eye drop used primarily to treat pain and inflammation following cataract surgery.
Key Information
- Primary Use: To prevent and treat eye pain, redness, and swelling after cataract surgery. It may also be used in diabetic patients to reduce the risk of macular edema (swelling at the back of the eye) after surgery.
- Mechanism of Action: Nepafenac works by blocking the production of certain natural substances (prostaglandins) in the eye that cause pain and inflammation.
- Dosage: The typical dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day, starting the day before surgery and continuing for two weeks after, or as directed by a doctor.
- Prescription: This medication is available by prescription only.
How to Use
- Shake well before each use.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
- Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination.
- Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative (benzalkonium chloride) can discolor soft lenses.
- If using other eye medications, wait at least five minutes between each product application.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention, but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen.
- Decreased or blurred vision
- Foreign body sensation or stickiness in the eye
- Eye discomfort or itching
- Headache or runny nose
Important Precautions
- Bleeding Risk: Use with caution if you have bleeding problems or are on blood thinners, as NSAIDs can increase bleeding time.
- Delayed Healing: This medicine may slow down the healing process, especially if used with steroid eye drops. Your doctor will monitor your recovery.
- Specific Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, dry eye syndrome, or any other eye conditions, as these may increase the risk of corneal complications.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is generally advised to avoid use during late pregnancy.
