Nevanac Ophthalmic Suspension 5ml

Nevanac Eye Drops are used to reduce pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. They contain nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which works by targeting and reducing inflammation in the eye. These drops help alleviate discomfort, prevent swelling, and promote faster recovery after surgery. 

• Before using the eye drops, make sure your hands are clean.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Position your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Hold the dropper directly over your eye and instill one drop into the lower cul-de-sac, that's the space between your lower eyelid and eyeball.
• Look downwards and gently close your eye for a minute or two to allow the drops to spread evenly.
• Immediately replace and tighten the cap after using.
• If you are using more than one type of eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes before applying the next one. Always consult your doctor for specific guidance.

Nevanac Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Nevanac Eye Drops consist of two active ingredients:

• Nepafenac (0.1%): Once administered through the eye, nepafenac penetrates the cornea and is converted into amfenac by enzymes in the ocular tissues. Amfenac is another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent that reduces pain and swelling by inhibiting an enzyme called prostaglandin H synthase or cyclooxygenase. This enzyme is responsible for producing prostaglandins which cause inflammation and pain.
• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.005%): This ingredient serves as a preservative in the formulation, maintaining its sterility and extending its shelf life.
• These two components work together to effectively manage postoperative inflammation and pain in patients who have undergone cataract surgery.

• Store Nevanac Eye Drops at a cool room temperature.
• Keep the bottle away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the dropper tip doesn't touch any surfaces to avoid contamination.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Remember to use the eye drops within 28 days of opening the bottle and before its expiry date.

• Since Nevanac Eye Drops are used for managing postoperative pain and inflammation after cataract surgery, it's helpful to eat a diet rich in Vitamin C. This nutrient is essential for eye health and can be found in citrus fruits, bell peppers, strawberries, and broccoli.
• Try to minimize eye strain by taking regular breaks if you're doing activities that require intense focus, such as reading or working on a computer. This will help your eyes recover from surgery faster.
