Neypac Eye Drop BAK Free

Neypac Eye Drop BAK Free is a topical anti-inflammatory eye drop medication used to treat various eye conditions. The active ingredient, Nepafenac (0.1% w/v), helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery. With no benzalkonium chloride (BAK), it is gentler on the eyes, making it a preferred choice for sensitive individuals. This medication provides effective relief while minimizing irritation and side effects commonly caused by other eye drops.

Uses of Neypac Eye Drop

Neypac Eye Drop is primarily used for:

• Reducing eye inflammation and pain after cataract surgery.
• Relieving swelling and discomfort following eye surgeries or injuries.
• Managing inflammation in certain other eye conditions, as prescribed by your doctor.

How Neypac Eye Drop Works

Neypac Eye Drop contains Nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking specific enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for causing inflammation and pain in the eyes. By reducing this inflammation, the drop provides relief from discomfort and promotes quicker healing after eye surgeries.
