Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop

Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop is a nepafenac ophthalmic suspension used to reduce pain and inflammation in the eye. Each bottle contains 5 mL of eye drops with nepafenac as the active ingredient, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for eye care. It is commonly used around cataract surgery and for other doctor-directed eye inflammation needs. Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop should be used exactly as prescribed by an eye specialist.

How it works: Nepafenac belongs to the NSAID class, which lowers the eye’s production of prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. As an eye drop, Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the eye surface so it can act where inflammation is happening.

Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop is a single-bottle eye drop presentation, so the important difference is the amount supplied for treatment rather than a higher or lower drug strength. This 5 mL bottle is suited for the full course your doctor prescribes and is often chosen when regular eye-drop dosing is needed after eye surgery or for inflammation control. Because eye-drop dosing is individualized, a doctor decides how many drops and how long you should use Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop.

• Post-cataract surgery pain and inflammation
• Eye inflammation as directed by an eye doctor
• Reduction of eye redness and irritation from inflammation
• Doctor-prescribed ocular NSAID therapy

• Use Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop only in the eye(s) your doctor tells you to treat.
• Wash your hands before and after using the bottle.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and ask your doctor when you can put them back in.
• Wait several minutes between Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop and any other eye medicine unless your doctor gives different directions.
• After instilling a drop, gently close your eye and press the inner corner for 1 to 2 minutes to help keep the medicine in the eye.

Each bottle of Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop contains 5 mL of nepafenac ophthalmic suspension. The usual number of drops per dose and how often you use them depends on why it was prescribed, and the exact schedule is decided by your doctor. Do not use it more often or longer than prescribed, and do not assume it should be used every day without medical guidance.

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

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow Nepatop 5 mL Eye Drop.

• Do not wear contact lenses during active eye treatment unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Report any eye infection, corneal disease, or slow-healing eye problem before using this drop.
