Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop

Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the eye. Each bottle is the 5 mL eye drop presentation of Nepachek, supplied by Indoco Remedies. It is used to reduce eye pain and swelling, most often after cataract surgery or other eye procedures when an anti-inflammatory drop is needed. Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye, so it is designed for targeted relief rather than full-body pain control.

How it works: Nepafenac in Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop blocks the eye’s production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and swelling. By lowering these chemicals directly in the eye, the drop helps calm inflammation after eye surgery or injury-related irritation.

Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop is the standard bottle-size presentation rather than a higher or lower drug strength, so it fits normal prescribed eye-drop dosing. A doctor may choose this 5 mL bottle when a patient needs a convenient supply for the full treatment course without using a different form. Because it is an eye drop, it acts directly where the inflammation is, and the feel may be a brief stinging or blurred vision right after instillation.

• Post-cataract surgery inflammation control
• Eye pain relief after surgery
• Reduction of ocular swelling
• Doctor-directed prevention of postoperative eye inflammation

• Use Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor.
• Wash your hands before putting the drop in your eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and ask your doctor when to put them back in.
• After instilling the drop, close your eye gently and press the inner corner of the eye for about 1 minute.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait several minutes between drops unless your doctor gives different instructions.

The product is supplied as a 5 mL bottle of Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop, and the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription your doctor gives. It is commonly used as 1 drop in the affected eye(s) on a schedule your surgeon or ophthalmologist chooses, often multiple times a day around the time of eye surgery. There is no universal maximum daily dose for every patient with this product size; the prescriber decides the frequency based on the condition being treated and your eye-surgery plan.

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

Common side effects of Nepafenac may include:

• Temporary stinging or burning in the eye
• Blurred vision right after instilling the drop
• Eye redness
• Itchy or irritated eyes
• Watery eyes
• Sensitivity to light

• Use Nepachek 5 mL Eye Drop only if it was prescribed for your eye condition or surgery plan.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had asthma, aspirin allergy, or NSAID sensitivity.
• Do not use the drop if you have a known allergy to nepafenac or other NSAIDs.
• Temporary blurred vision may make driving or using machinery unsafe right after the dose.
• Do not wear contact lenses unless your eye doctor says it is okay.
• Tell your doctor about all eye medicines you use so the drops do not interfere with each other.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of bleeding problems or slow wound healing.

• Other NSAID medicines, including eye NSAIDs or oral NSAIDs
• Aspirin-containing products
• Corticosteroid eye drops unless your doctor is monitoring closely
• Other prescription eye drops used at the same time without spacing them out
