Ilevro eye drops are prescribed for use immediately after cataract surgery to prevent and relieve pain and inflammation. It is also used to reduce the risk of macular edema after cataract surgery.
Ilevro (generic name: nepafenac) is a member of the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is prescribed to prevent and relieve pain and inflammation, and to reduce the risk of macular edema, after cataract surgery Nepafenac blocks the action of prostaglandin H synthase (cyclooxygenase), which is an enzyme required for prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are responsible for causing pain, redness, inflammation in the eyes, so blocking prostaglandins provides relief in these conditions.
