Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop

Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac 0.10% in each 5 mL bottle. Nepafenac belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and is used in the eye to help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed around cataract surgery and other eye conditions where inflammation needs to be controlled. Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop is meant for use in the eye only, not by mouth or for injection.

How it works: Nepafenac in Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop blocks chemicals called prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. When placed in the eye, it helps calm inflammation directly where it is needed.

The 0.10% strength is a standard lower-concentration nepafenac eye drop, which may be chosen when a doctor wants anti-inflammatory relief with a gentler dosing concentration. Compared with stronger or more concentrated eye-drop versions, Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop may be preferred when the prescriber wants a familiar twice- or three-times-daily eye regimen based on the exact condition being treated. Your eye doctor decides whether this strength fits your surgery plan, symptoms, and healing needs.

• Reducing eye pain after cataract surgery
• Helping control post-surgery inflammation
• Relieving swelling inside the eye
• Managing doctor-directed ocular inflammation

• Use Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before using the bottle 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.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after the drop, and do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and ask your doctor when it is safe to put them back in.

Each bottle of Nepacent 0.10% 5 mL Eye Drop contains nepafenac 0.10% ophthalmic suspension. The exact dose and how often to use it depend on why it was prescribed, and the doctor decides the schedule based on your eye condition and surgery plan. Do not use more often than prescribed; many eye-drop regimens are limited to a set number of drops per day, and the bottle is not meant for self-adjusted dosing.

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
• Blurred vision right after the drop
• Eye redness
• Itching or irritation in the eye
• Foreign-body sensation or mild eye discomfort
• Headache

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow the liquid or inject it.
• Tell your doctor if you have had asthma, aspirin sensitivity, or reactions to other NSAIDs.
• Use caution if you have a history of bleeding problems or are taking blood thinners.
• Do not wear contact lenses during active eye treatment unless your eye doctor says it is okay.
• Vision may be temporarily blurred after each dose, so avoid driving until your sight is clear.
• Follow the full post-surgery schedule exactly, because stopping early can let inflammation return.
• If you have eye infection symptoms, report them promptly before using more drops.

• Other NSAID medicines, including prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, which may raise bleeding risk
• Other eye drops or ointments used at the same time without spacing
• Aspirin or aspirin-containing products
• Steroid eye drops unless your doctor has specifically prescribed both
