Optafenac TS Suspension 0.30% contains Nepafenac, a potent ophthalmic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed for once-daily use. This higher-strength formulation is particularly effective in managing pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. As a prodrug, Nepafenac penetrates ocular tissues and is converted into its active form, providing targeted and sustained anti-inflammatory action for improved patient convenience and compliance.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Nepafenac 0.30% (Ophthalmic Suspension)

Indications

Optafenac TS Suspension is indicated for:

• Treatment of postoperative pain and inflammation following cataract surgery
• Prevention of ocular inflammation after eye surgery
• Reduction of risk of macular edema following cataract surgery (especially in diabetic patients, as prescribed)

Mechanism of Action

Nepafenac is converted in ocular tissues to amfenac, its active metabolite. Amfenac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes responsible for prostaglandin synthesis. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Optafenac TS effectively minimizes inflammation, pain, and swelling in the eye. Its sustained action allows for once-daily dosing.
