Opanac Suspension 0.10% contains Nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for ophthalmic use. It is primarily used to manage pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery and other ocular procedures. Opanac Suspension is designed to provide targeted anti-inflammatory action within the eye, helping to reduce postoperative discomfort, swelling, and redness while supporting faster recovery.

Nepafenac is a prodrug that penetrates the cornea efficiently and is converted within ocular tissues into its active form, amfenac. This unique property allows Opanac to deliver effective anti-inflammatory action directly at the site of inflammation, making it a reliable choice in postoperative eye care.

Mechanism of Action

Nepafenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes after its conversion to amfenac in intraocular tissues. COX enzymes are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins, which play a key role in inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. By reducing prostaglandin production, Opanac Suspension helps minimize inflammation, pain, and associated symptoms without the steroid-related side effects.

The suspension formulation ensures adequate drug contact with ocular tissues, enhancing therapeutic effectiveness.
