Why is Nevanac prescribed?

Nevanac (Nepafenac) is prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation in the eyes. It is commonly used after cataract surgery to help manage pain and swelling.

What does it do?

Nevanac (Nepafenac) works by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are substances that cause inflammation and pain. By inhibiting COX, Nevanac reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain in the eye.

How should I take it?

Use Nevanac precisely as your doctor prescribes. Adhere to all instructions on your prescription label. Avoid using this medicine in larger or smaller doses or for a longer duration than recommended.

• One drop of Nevanac 0.1% should be applied to the affected eye three times daily.
• Start applying the drops one day before cataract surgery, continue on the day of surgery, and through the first two weeks of the postoperative period.
• Shake the container well before each use. Make sure to administer the drops at least 5 minutes apart if using other topical ophthalmic medications.
• Be careful not to touch the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to avoid contamination.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Nevanac (nepafenac), take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next dose is nearly due, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once to compensate for the missed dose.

It's important to try to take the medication consistently, as prescribed by your healthcare provider, for the best results.

What are the special precautions before taking Nevanac?

Before taking Nevanac (Nepafenac), there are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Do not use Nevanac while wearing contact lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drops before inserting your contact lenses.
• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to nepafenac, sulfa drugs, or any other medications.
• Do not share Nevanac with others, even if they have the same condition, as it may be harmful to them.
• Share your medical history with your doctor, particularly if you have diabetes, dry eye syndrome, arthritis, or a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder like hemophilia.
• Provide a list of all medications, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs you are taking, as Nevanac can interact with other substances.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Use Nevanac for no longer than 14 days after your surgery unless directed by your doctor.

Always follow your doctor's instructions to ensure safe and effective use of Neptazane.
