Product Description
Nevanac Ophthalmic Suspension contains Nepafenac (0.1% w/v), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the treatment of eye pain, redness, and swelling following cataract surgery. It works by blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This helps in reducing discomfort and promoting faster healing.
