What is Ilevro?

Ilevro is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Novartis. It is a nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory prodrug used for the treatment of ocular pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.

What doses of Ilevro are available?

Ilevro is available as a sterile ophthalmic suspension, in the following doses: 0.3%

One drop of Ilevro (nepafenac ophthalmic suspension), 0.3% should be applied to the affected eye once daily, beginning 1 day before cataract surgery, on the day of surgery and for the first 2 weeks of the postoperative period. An additional drop should be applied 30 to 120 minutes before surgery.

To apply the eye drops tilt your head back and pull your lower eyelid down. Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze a drop into this pocket. Close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes. Do not touch the dropper tip of the eye dropper or place it directly on your eye. This could lead to infection of the eye. If you miss a dose use the medicine as soon as you can but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose.

Do not use the eye drops while wearing soft contact lenses. A preservative in this medicine (benzalkonium chloride) can stain the lenses. Use the medicine at least 15 minutes before inserting your contact lenses.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
