## What is Nepcinac Eye Drop

Nepcinac Eye Drop is a pain-relieving medicine that treats pain and inflammation after Cataract surgery. It consists of 1% Nepafenac, which is part of a class of medicine known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).

Nepafenac stops the production of certain natural substances like prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling after Cataract surgery.

Cipla Ltd., a renowned pharmaceutical manufacturer, manufactures Nepcinac Eye Drop.

## What are the benefits of Nepcinac Eye Drop

Nepcinac Eye Drops reduce eye pain and inflammation, especially after Cataract surgery.

Nepcinac contains Nepafenac, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) that is beneficial for treating eye pain and inflammation, especially after Cataract surgery. It blocks the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain, redness, and eye swelling.

By stopping prostaglandins, Nepcinac relieves discomfort and reduces inflammations, helping the eyes heal faster. Additionally, it helps lower the risk of Macular Edema (swelling in the retina) after surgery.
