Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop

Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop contains nepafenac in a 5 mL bottle and belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class for eye care. It is used to help reduce eye pain, inflammation, and swelling, especially around cataract surgery. Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop, so it should be used only for the eye condition your doctor has diagnosed.

How it works: Nepafenac is converted inside the eye to an active medicine that blocks substances called prostaglandins, which help cause pain and inflammation. As an eye drop, Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye to ease swelling and discomfort with limited effect on the rest of the body.

This Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop bottle provides a 5 mL supply in a standard ophthalmic dropper, which is practical for short-term treatment plans directed by an eye specialist. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product fits typical nepafenac eye-drop dosing and should still be used exactly as prescribed, not more often or for longer than directed.

• Reduce eye pain after cataract surgery
• Treat postoperative eye inflammation
• Help control swelling inside the eye
• Support recovery after certain eye procedures

• Wash your hands before using Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before use and follow your doctor’s advice on when to put them back in.
• Keep the eye closed for 1 to 2 minutes after each drop and press gently at the inner corner of the eye if instructed.
• Use it at the times your doctor prescribed, especially around the time of eye surgery.

Each bottle of Micronac 5 mL Eye Drop contains 5 mL of nepafenac ophthalmic solution, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on your prescription and the reason it was prescribed. It is often used on a schedule before and after eye surgery, but the doctor decides how often it should be taken and for how many days; do not use extra doses or apply it more often than prescribed.

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