Nevanac (Nepafenac ophthalmic suspension)

Nevanac (nepafenac ophthalmic suspension) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) sterile prodrug used for relieving pain after cataract surgery. Each mL of Nevanac consists of 1 mg of nepafenac. This prodrug is prescribed by the doctors to patients who have cataract surgery as it helps in relieving eye pain, redness, and irritation due to surgery.
