What is Ilevro (nepafenac) used for?

Ilevro is a brand name for nepafenac, an anti-inflammatory eye medicine. It is used to reduce inflammation in the eye after cataract surgery and to help treat pain associated with that inflammation. [1]

How does Ilevro work?

Ne­pafenac is converted in the eye into amfenac, which helps reduce inflammation by lowering prostaglandin production. That anti-inflammatory effect is why it’s used post-cataract surgery. [1]

How is Ilevro typically used?

Ilevro is taken as eye drops. The exact dosing schedule depends on the condition being treated, as directed by the prescribing clinician. [1]

Is Ilevro related to other eye NSAIDs?

Yes. Nepafenac is in the same general class as other ophthalmic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for eye inflammation and pain. Comparisons depend on the specific active ingredient, concentration, and dosing regimen. [1]
