Buy Ilevro

Ilevro (Nepafenac) is primarily used to treat and prevent pain and inflammatory symptoms associated with cataract surgery. It is an ophthalmic suspension containing nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), as its active ingredient. Nepafenac is a prodrug that is converted into amfenac in the eye. This substance then inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking these enzymes, Ilevro reduces both post-surgical pain and inflammation.

Clinical studies have shown that Ilevro (nepafenac) is both safe and effective in reducing and preventing postoperative pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. In clinical trials, Ilevro demonstrated superior efficacy compared to a vehicle placebo, significantly reducing pain and inflammation during the 14-day postoperative period. The drug is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects, including eye irritation. Still, more severe effects like corneal issues are rare.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration of use for you based on your response to treatment. If you are using more than one topical eye medication (eye drops or ointment), wait at least 5 minutes before putting another medication in your eye. Contact lenses should not be worn during treatment with this medication. Check out the leaflet in the medication pack for more details on usage.
