Physical description & handling notes

• Solid
• Low but quantifiable plasma concentrations of nepafenac and amfenac were observed in the majority of subjects 2 and 3 hours postdose, respectively, following bilateral topical ocular TID dosing of nepafenac ophthalmic suspension, 0.1%. The mean steady-state Cmax for nepafenac and for amfenac were 0.310 ± 0.104 ng/ml and 0.422 ± 0.121 ng/ml, respectively, following ocular administration.

Documented Uses

• For the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
• Breast Feeding; Lactation; Milk, Human; Analgesic Agents; Anti-inflammatory Agents, Nonsteroidal
• Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
• Mechanisms of Action [MoA] - Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors
• Chemical Structure [CS] - Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
• Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug
