How it works

Nepafenac belongs to a group called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

It works by:

• Penetrating into the eye tissues
• Converting into an active form (amfenac)
• Blocking chemicals called prostaglandins
• These prostaglandins are what cause pain, redness, and swelling

So in simple terms:
It reduces inflammation inside the eye and helps healing after surgery.

Key points

• It is a suspension eye drop (must be shaken before use)
• Usually used for a short period (often around surgery time)
• Should not be used without a doctor’s prescription
