Why is Ilevro prescribed?

Nepafenac (Ilevro) is being prescribed for the management of eye surgery which may cause pain and inflammation. After eye surgery, you may feel mild pain, burning, itchiness, and some discomfort, which can be relieved by Ilevro.

What does it do?

Cataract surgery is a medical procedure where the natural lens of your eye may be replaced with an artificial lens. Since cataracts make the lens of your eye cloudy, the surgery is done to improve your vision. Nepafenac belongs to a drug class called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and it works by inhibiting the release of prostaglandins (natural substances in the body responsible for pain and inflammation).

How should I apply it?

Ilevro and its generic equivalents are currently available as a 0.3% ophthalmic solution and should only be applied to the eye. Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply the recommended amount of medication your doctor has prescribed.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

Avoid touching the tip of the dropper with your hands or placing it directly onto your eye and do not let it come into contact with any surface to prevent contamination.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, apply it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never apply two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before applying Ilevro?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Ilevro or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Do not apply Ilevro while wearing contact lenses. Wear your contact lenses 15 minutes after applying the medication.
