Pharmacology
Nepafenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) prodrug. Once instilled into the eye, it penetrates the cornea and is converted by ocular tissue hydrolase into amfenac, a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Amfenac is believed to work by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme, which the eye needs to synthesize prostaglandins.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Use in pregnancy: Well-controlled studies in pregnant women have not been done. Nepafenac should therefore be used in pregnancy only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the unborn baby.
Use while breastfeeding: It is not known whether Nepafenac passes into human breast milk. As a precaution, it should be used with caution in nursing mothers.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
