• Post-Cataract Surgery Inflammation: Reduces pain, swelling, and redness after cataract surgery.

• Prevention of Cystoid Macular Edema: Helps prevent fluid buildup in the retina after eye surgery.

How to Use Nevanac 0.1% Eye Drop ?

Wash your hands before application. Shake the bottle well. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill one drop into the affected eye(s). Close your eyes gently for a few seconds to allow absorption.

Avoid blinking excessively or touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination. If using other eye medications, wait at least 5 minutes between applications.

Complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.

How Nevanac 0.1% Eye Drops Work ?

Nevanac 0.1% Eye Drops contain Nepafenac, a prodrug NSAID that converts into its active form (Amfenac) inside the eye.

This transformation allows it to target inflammation directly at the source, blocking cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which produce prostaglandins—the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and redness.

By inhibiting prostaglandin production, Nevanac effectively reduces post-surgical eye inflammation, prevents cystoid macular edema, and alleviates discomfort.

Unlike steroids, it provides potent anti-inflammatory benefits with a lower risk of side effects, ensuring faster recovery and clear vision after cataract surgery.

Dosage 

• Before Cataract Surgery: Instill 1 drop three times daily in the affected eye(s), starting 1 day before surgery.

• After Cataract Surgery: Continue 1 drop three times daily for up to 2 weeks, or as prescribed by your doctor.

• Missed Dose: Apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to your next dose, skip the missed dose—do not double-dose.
