DESCRIPTION:
Nepafenac Ophthalamic Solution 0. 1%w/v is a sterile, topical, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic product. Nepafenac is a yellow crystalline substance (powder) highly lipophilic in nature. After topical dosing, nepafenac penetrates the cornea and is converted into a more potent form, Amfenac by virtue of enzyme hydrolase which is present in the ocular tissues. Amfenac molecules are more potent than nepafenac. These molecules are released into the anterior and the posterior segment of the eye ball to provide the sustained anti-inflammatory effect.

Nepafenac Ophthalmic Solution 0.1%w/v is indicated particularly in treatment of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
