Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop

Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Each bottle provides 3 mL of the ophthalmic suspension, and it is used to reduce eye pain and inflammation, most often after cataract surgery. Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye to help control swelling, redness, and discomfort.

How it works: Nepafenac is converted inside the eye into an active anti-inflammatory medicine that blocks chemicals called prostaglandins. By lowering these chemicals, Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in the eye.

This 3 mL bottle is the eye-drop strength/form your doctor may choose when an NSAID eye medicine is needed for short-term eye inflammation or post-surgery care. Because it is a standard ophthalmic bottle rather than a pill or injection, it is used directly in the eye and acts at the treatment site instead of through the whole body.

• Pain and inflammation after cataract surgery
• Reduction of postoperative eye swelling
• Relief of eye discomfort due to inflammation as prescribed
• Short-term ophthalmic NSAID treatment

• Use only in the eye as prescribed; do not swallow Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop.
• Shake the bottle well if your doctor or label instructs, then instill the exact number of drops prescribed.
• Wash your hands before and after use, and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait before reinserting them unless your doctor says otherwise.
• If you use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 to 10 minutes unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• After putting in the drop, gently close your eye and press the inner corner for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce drainage.

Each bottle of Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop contains 3 mL of nepafenac ophthalmic suspension, and the exact dose is based on your doctor’s instructions and the reason it was prescribed. It is commonly used once daily, but your prescriber may adjust the schedule for your eye condition; do not use more often or for longer than directed.

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 after instillation
• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye redness or irritation
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Feeling that something is in the eye
• Light sensitivity

• Do not use Nepaflam OD 3 mL Eye Drop if you have had an allergy to nepafenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs.
• Use caution if you have asthma, especially aspirin-sensitive asthma, because NSAIDs can trigger reactions in some people.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination and eye infection.
• If you are using contact lenses, ask your doctor when it is safe to put them back in.
• Tell your doctor about any recent eye surgery, corneal problems, dry eye, or bleeding disorders before using this medicine.
• Use extra caution if you are also taking blood thinners or other NSAIDs, since bleeding risk may be higher.
• Do not drive or operate machinery until your vision clears after each dose.

• Other NSAID medicines, including aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, apixaban, or rivaroxaban
• Other prescription eye drops, especially if used too close together
• Topical steroids or other eye inflammation medicines unless your doctor is monitoring use
