Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop

Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac in a 5 mL bottle. Nepafenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the eye to reduce pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed after eye surgery, especially cataract surgery, to help control swelling and discomfort. Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop should be used only as directed by an eye doctor.

How it works: Nepafenac works by blocking the body’s production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and swelling. In the eye-drop form, Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the eye to help lower inflammation where it is needed.

This 5 mL eye drop is a bottle size, not a different drug strength, so it fits standard nepafenac eye-drop treatment rather than a higher or lower concentration. A doctor may choose Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop when a full course of treatment is needed after surgery or when the patient needs a practical multi-dose bottle for repeated use.

• Pain and inflammation after cataract surgery
• Post-operative eye swelling
• Eye discomfort after ophthalmic procedures
• Inflammation control as prescribed by an eye specialist

• Wash your hands before using Nepaflam 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 touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between drops unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Keep your eyes closed gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• Replace the cap tightly after use and use only for the length of time your doctor prescribed.

Each bottle of Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop contains 5 mL of nepafenac ophthalmic solution. The usual dosing schedule depends on why it was prescribed and can vary by doctor, but it is often used 3 times daily in the affected eye(s) around the time of surgery. Do not use more often than prescribed, and your doctor decides the exact dose, frequency, and duration for this specific 5 mL bottle.

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

Common side effects of Nepafenac may include:

• Mild eye burning or stinging
• Temporary blurred vision after the drop
• Eye redness
• Itching or irritation in the eye
• Watery eyes
• Foreign-body or scratchy feeling in the eye

• Use Nepaflam 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye; do not swallow it.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of aspirin-sensitive asthma, NSAID allergy, or severe allergies.
• Contact lens wearers should ask their eye doctor when to remove and reinsert lenses.
• Use caution if you have bleeding problems or are taking blood thinners, because NSAIDs may increase bleeding risk.
• Do not use more drops than prescribed; overuse can increase eye irritation and side effects.
• If your vision is blurry after dosing, do not drive or operate machinery until it clears.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

• Other ophthalmic NSAIDs
• Topical corticosteroid eye drops
