Overview
Nevanac® Eye Drops is a sterile ophthalmic suspension developed by Novartis, containing Nepafenac 0.1%, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Though originally formulated for human use, it is frequently prescribed off-label by veterinarians to manage ocular inflammation and pain in cats and dogs, particularly following eye surgery or in cases of non-infectious uveitis. Its prodrug formulation allows rapid conversion to active amfenac within ocular tissues, delivering targeted anti-inflammatory effects.
Key Benefits / Features
✅ Reduces ocular inflammation and pain without using corticosteroids
✅ Rapid tissue penetration and targeted action via prodrug mechanism
✅ Suitable for post-operative care (e.g. cataract surgery) in companion animals
✅ Sterile suspension ensures safety for sensitive eyes
✅ Convenient 5 mL bottle with precision dropper
