Enfenac Eye Drop

Enfenac Eye Drop is a nepafenac ophthalmic solution from Bell Pharma used to reduce eye pain and inflammation. Each bottle contains nepafenac at the strength stated on the label, and it belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class for eye care. Enfenac Eye Drop is commonly prescribed after eye surgery, especially cataract surgery, to help control swelling, pain, and irritation in the eye.

How it works: Nepafenac is converted in the eye to an active NSAID that blocks prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, redness, and swelling. As an eye drop, Enfenac Eye Drop delivers the medicine right where it is needed to help calm inflammation after eye procedures.

Because Enfenac Eye Drop is supplied as labeled in eye-drop form, it is meant for direct use in the eye rather than as a lower- or higher-dose tablet or capsule. This form may be chosen when a doctor wants local anti-inflammatory action at the eye surface and inside the eye with minimal whole-body exposure. Since there are no sibling strengths or forms listed for this brand, the labeled strength is the one your doctor uses to fit your treatment plan and timing.

• Reduction of eye pain after cataract surgery
• Control of postoperative eye inflammation
• Treatment of eye swelling related to surgery
• Relief of ocular discomfort as directed by an eye specialist

• Use Enfenac Eye Drop exactly as prescribed for your eye surgery or eye condition.
• Wash your hands before putting in the drops and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Keep the bottle closed tightly after use and use only for the eye.
• Do not wear contact lenses unless your eye doctor says it is safe to do so.

Enfenac Eye Drop provides nepafenac in the exact concentration printed on the bottle label. The number of drops and how often you use them may vary by surgery type and your doctor’s instructions; do not use more often than prescribed, and the usual maximum daily amount is the exact schedule your prescriber sets for you. Your doctor decides the dose based on your eye condition, procedure, and healing plan.

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

Common side effects of Nepafenac may include:

• Temporary eye burning or stinging
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Blurred vision for a short time after instillation
• Redness of the eye
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Headache in some users

• Use caution if you have ever had an allergy to nepafenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of asthma, hives, or nasal polyps, since NSAID sensitivity can occur.
• Do not use Enfenac Eye Drop longer or more often than prescribed, because eye NSAIDs can raise the risk of healing problems.
• Contact lenses should usually be avoided around dosing unless your eye doctor specifically approves them.
• Use extra caution if you already have eye surface disease, dry eye, or prior corneal problems.
• If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor whether this eye NSAID is appropriate.
• Do not drive or operate machinery until your vision is clear after using the drops.

• Other ophthalmic NSAIDs, unless specifically directed by your doctor
• Topical corticosteroid eye drops, which may increase the risk of delayed healing when combined
• Warfarin or other blood thinners, if your doctor considers bleeding risk
• Aspirin or oral NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, because of additive NSAID effects

Store Enfenac Eye Drop tightly closed at room temperature away from excess heat, light, and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children.
