Properties

Nepafenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic action. When applied topically, nepafenac penetrates the cornea of the eye and, under the influence of the hydrolase enzyme, is converted into the active form — amfenac. Amfenac inhibits the action of cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin — H synthase), an enzyme necessary for the production of prostaglandins.

Clinical Efficiency

In clinical studies on the effectiveness of Nepafenac suspension in the prevention and treatment of postoperative pain and inflammation in patients after cataract surgery, and to reduce the risk of postoperative macular edema in patients with diabetes who underwent cataract surgery, its high efficacy was established.

Indications

— reduced risk of postoperative macular edema associated with cataract surgery in diabetic patients.

Dosage and administration

Contraindications

Precautionary measures:

The use of NSAIDs locally can lead to the development of keratitis. In some susceptible patients, prolonged topical use of NSAIDs can lead to epithelial damage, corneal thinning, corneal erosion, corneal ulceration or perforation. Such phenomena can threaten vision. Patients who develop signs of corneal damage should immediately stop using Nevanak, and the condition of the cornea should be carefully monitored.
