Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop

Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), in a 5 mL bottle. It is used to reduce eye pain and inflammation, especially after cataract surgery and in other doctor-directed eye inflammation care. Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye, so it is designed to act where it is applied. This product is one specific bottle size of Amnac Eye Drop, made by Zydus Cadila, India.

How it works: Nepafenac is converted inside the eye into an active anti-inflammatory compound that blocks prostaglandins, which are chemicals involved in pain and swelling. As an eye drop, Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the medicine right to the eye tissues to help lower redness, discomfort, and inflammation.

The 5 mL bottle size is a convenient single-eye-drop presentation for people who need a doctor-prescribed nepafenac course and may be using the medicine around surgery or for short-term inflammation control. Because this is an eye drop form, it is not swallowed and it acts directly on the eye surface, which helps limit whole-body exposure compared with oral NSAIDs. A clinician may choose Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop when a local anti-inflammatory effect is needed and the patient can use drops correctly.

• After cataract surgery eye pain and inflammation
• Doctor-directed treatment of eye inflammation
• Reduction of postoperative swelling
• Relief of eye discomfort caused by inflammation

• Use Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as your eye doctor prescribes; the dose and timing are specific to your surgery or condition.
• Wash your hands before use and do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• After instilling a drop, close your eye gently and press the inner corner of the eye for 1 to 2 minutes if your doctor tells you to.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before use and ask your doctor when it is safe to wear them again.

Each bottle of Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop contains 5 mL of nepafenac ophthalmic solution. The exact number of drops and how often you use it depend on the reason it was prescribed; for many postoperative regimens, nepafenac eye drops are used up to 3 times daily, but your doctor may choose a different schedule. Do not use more often than prescribed, because the correct dose for this strength is individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Nepafenac may include:

• Temporary burning or stinging after instilling the drop
• Eye irritation or itching
• Blurred vision right after use
• Redness of the eye
• Foreign-body sensation or eye discomfort
• Headache

• Do not use Amnac 5 mL Eye Drop if you are allergic to nepafenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs unless your doctor specifically approves it.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, especially aspirin-sensitive asthma, because NSAID eye drops can trigger reactions in some people.
• Use caution if you have a history of bleeding problems or if you take medicines that affect bleeding.
• Do not wear contact lenses during the period your doctor tells you to avoid them after eye surgery or while the eye is irritated.
• Do not use the drop more often than prescribed, since overuse can raise the risk of eye irritation and delayed healing.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery right after use if your vision is blurred.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before using this eye drop.

• Other topical eye medicines, especially if used at the same time without spacing
• Aspirin and other NSAIDs taken by mouth, which may increase NSAID-related risks
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or clopidogrel
• Medicines or conditions that increase bleeding risk
• Other anti-inflammatory eye treatments unless your eye doctor directs combined use
