Tell your doctor before using these drops if you are allergic to aspirin or to medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Use one drop three times daily, unless you have been told otherwise.

Your eyes may become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. If this happens, wearing sunglasses may help.

About nepafenac eye drops

Nepafenac eye drops relieve eye pain and swelling which can be caused by קטרקט surgery. They are also used to reduce the risk of this occurring in people who are at particular risk of it. Nepafenac belongs to a group of medicines known as תרופות נוגדות דלקת שאינן סטרואידיות (NSAIDs).

Before using nepafenac eye drops

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start using nepafenac drops it is important that your doctor knows:

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine. It is particularly important that you tell your doctor if you know you are allergic to an NSAID such as naproxen, ibuprofen or diclofenac, or if you have ever had a reaction to aspirin.
If you have a tendency to bleed easily.
If you know you have an eye infection.
אם את בהריון או מניקה.
If you have diabetes or דלקת מפרקים שגרונית.
If you are taking any other medicines or using any other eye drops. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.

How to use nepafenac eye drops

Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about using the eye drops and will also provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from using them.
Use the drops exactly as your doctor tells you to. There are two different strengths of nepafenac eye drops. If you have been prescribed 1 mg/ml eye drops, the usual dose is one drop three times daily. If you have been prescribed the 3 mg/ml eye drops the usual dose is one drop once daily. Make sure you know the correct dose for the eye drops you have been given.
You will probably be asked to start using the drops the day before you are due to have surgery, and to continue to use them for several weeks afterwards.

כיצד להשתמש בטיפות עיניים

First wash your hands thoroughly.
For most eye drops, you should not shake the bottle. Some suspension eye drops may need to be shaken before use. Check the label on your medicine first. Remove the cap, trying not to touch the tip of the bottle..
It helps to do the following steps in front of a mirror:
הטה את ראשך מעט לאחור ומשוך את העפעף התחתון של עינך כלפי מטה כדי ליצור כיס.
Hold the bottle upside down near to your eye. Try not to touch your eye with the bottle as you do this, but don't worry if you do.
Gently press the base of the bottle to release one drop into your eye. Your eye can only hold about one drop of liquid, any more will over-flow down your cheek.
Close your eye for a minute or two, and press gently on the side of your nose where the corner of your eye meets your nose. This helps to stop the liquid from draining away and keeps it in your eye.
חזור על התהליך בעין השנייה אם נאמר לך להשתמש בטיפות בשתי העיניים.
If you need to administer more than one drop into an eye, wait a few minutes before repeating the process. If you need to use more than one eye drop medicine at a time, wait at least 5 minutes between each medicine.
Replace the cap after use and store out of reach of children.
If you have any difficulty using eye drops ask a pharmacist for advice. There are other techniques that may suit you better and devices available to help you.

להפיק את המרב מהטיפול שלך

Take care not to touch your eye, fingers, or any other surface with the dropper of the bottle. This could contaminate the drops left in the bottle.
If your doctor has recommended you use another eye preparation as well as these drops, then leave at least five minutes between putting in nepafenac drops and the other preparation.
זכור להשתמש בטיפות במרווחי זמן קבועים ונסה לא לפספס אף מנה. אם שכחת, השתמש בהן ברגע שאתה נזכר (אלא אם כן זה כמעט הזמן למנה הבאה שלך, במקרה כזה פשוט השתמש בטיפות כשהן נדרשות בפעם הבאה). אל תכפיל את המנה כדי לפצות על מנה שהוחמצה.
When first put in, eye drops can make your eyes water and may sometimes cause blurred vision. If this happens, it should quickly clear. Make sure you can see clearly again before you drive, or before you use tools or machines.
Try to keep the appointments which have been booked for you with the eye clinic. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.
Nepafenac could cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Avoid strong sunlight and do not use sunbeds while you are using these drops.
If you normally wear contact lenses, your doctor will recommend you use glasses for a time following cataract surgery. This is to allow your eyes to recover from the procedure. There is also another reason why you should not wear contact lenses while you are using nepafenac eye drops. This is because they contain a preservative which can affect soft contact lenses.

Can nepafenac eye drops cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the ones associated with nepafenac. You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with the eye drops. The unwanted effects often improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine, but speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

Nepafenac side-effects (these affect fewer than 1 in 100 people)	מה אני יכול לעשות אם אני חווה את זה?
Eye discomfort or discharge, dry eyes, redness	If this becomes troublesome, mention it to your doctor
Increased sensitivity to light	Wearing sunglasses may help
ראייה מטושטשת	Do not drive and do not use tools or machines unless you can see clearly
כאב ראש	שתו הרבה מים ובקשו מהרוקח שלכם להמליץ על משכך כאבים מתאים. אם הכאבי ראש נמשכים, הודיעו לרופא שלכם

חשוב: occasionally people can be allergic to eye drops, particularly if the eye drops contain a preservative. If you notice a rash around your eyes, or any swelling or itching, stop using the drops and contact a doctor or pharmacist for advice. Long-term use of preserved eye drops may lead to eye irritation and symptoms of dry eyes. If your eyes or eyelids become red or inflamed after using the drops, contact your doctor for advice.

How to store nepafenac eye drops

שמור את כל התרופות מחוץ להישג ידם וראייתם של ילדים.
יש לאחסן במקום קריר ויבש, הרחק מחום ואור ישיר.
Eye drops in bottles only keep for four weeks once the bottle has been opened, so do not use the drops if the bottle has been open for longer than this. This will help to prevent the risk of eye infections.
