APDROPS EYE DROPS — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Nepafenac 0.1% w/v ophthalmic suspension

Nepafenac is a prodrug that penetrates the eye and is converted to amfenac, an NSAID. It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production and thereby decreasing pain and inflammation.

For ophthalmic use only. Shake well before use. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) as advised by the doctor, usually 1 drop 3 times daily starting 1 day before cataract surgery, on the day of surgery, and for up to 2 weeks after (or as directed). Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Do not touch the dropper tip; keep a gap of 5–10 minutes between different eye drops.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
