Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop

Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the eyes. Each bottle is labeled with the strength shown on the pack, and this Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop is used to help reduce pain and swelling in the eye. It is commonly prescribed around eye surgery, especially cataract surgery, to lower inflammation and support recovery. Nepafenac works by blocking substances in the eye that cause redness, pain, and swelling.

How it works: After you put Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop into the eye, nepafenac is converted to its active form in eye tissues. It then reduces the chemicals that cause inflammation, which helps ease eye pain and swelling.

Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop is a single-strength eye drop product, so there are no other bottle strengths or forms in this brand lineup to compare it with. As labeled, it is used in the eye only, and a doctor may choose it when targeted local anti-inflammatory treatment is needed before or after an eye procedure. Because it is an eye drop, it acts directly where it is needed and is not meant to be swallowed or used as a general pain reliever.

• Reduction of eye pain and inflammation
• After cataract surgery inflammation control
• Post-operative swelling in the eye
• Doctor-directed treatment for ocular inflammation

• Use only in the eye, exactly as your eye doctor instructs.
• Wash your hands before handling the bottle and avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and ask when you may put them back in.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Keep the eye closed gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop; do not blink hard or rub the eye.
• If you use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 minutes unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Nepaice Sterile Eye Drop is an eye-drop product with the strength labeled on the bottle, and the exact number of drops and treatment schedule depend on the condition being treated. For nepafenac eye drops, doctors commonly prescribe 1 drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily, often starting the day before eye surgery and continuing for a period after surgery, but your prescriber may adjust this. There is no self-set maximum daily dose for this product; the doctor decides the dose, frequency, and duration based on your eye condition and surgical plan.

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