Ilevro Ophthalmic Suspension

Original price was: $45.00.Current price is: $33.34.

Ilevro operates through its active ingredient, nepafenac, which penetrates the cornea to reach intraocular tissues and inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. This inhibition reduces the production of prostaglandins, substances known to cause inflammation and pain in the body, easing post-surgical symptoms such as swelling, pain, and redness. The unique formulation of Ilevro allows for efficient absorption into the eye, ensuring effective relief and recovery following cataract surgery.

Description

Ilevro (Nepafenac Ophthalmic Suspension) is a prescription eye drop solution that reduces pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. Classified under nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Ilevro inhibits certain substances in the body that cause inflammation. Its key active ingredient, nepafenac, is crucial in mitigating post-surgical eye discomfort and facilitating a smoother recovery.

Additional information

Usage

Ilevro is indicated for:

● The reduction of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.

Patients are advised to:

● Use Ilevro exactly as their ophthalmologist prescribes, typically once daily, starting one day before cataract surgery, on the day of surgery, and continuing through the first two weeks of the postoperative period.
● Avoid wearing contact lenses unless approved by a healthcare provider.
● Wait at least 5 minutes before using any other eye drops that have been prescribed.

Precautions:

● Ilevro is not recommended for persons allergic to nepafenac, other NSAIDs, or any ingredients in Ilevro solution.
● Patients who have bleeding tendencies or who are on other medications that could extend bleeding time should use Ilevro with caution.
● Inform your doctor of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
● The use of NSAIDs like Ilevro can result in keratitis. Protracted use may also delay healing or exacerbate the healing process in the eye.

Common side effects may include:

● Eye redness
● Headache
● Decreased visual acuity

Severe side effects requiring immediate medical attention include:

● Increased eye pain
