Description

Acukat Drops 5ml is a topical ophthalmic medication containing Nepafenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat and prevent eye inflammation. It is primarily prescribed for individuals undergoing cataract surgery, to manage pain and reduce the risk of complications such as macular edema in diabetic patients. Acukat Drops help to inhibit intra-operative miosis (pupil constriction) and alleviate discomfort following eye surgery. This effective solution supports faster recovery by targeting inflammation at its source, making it a reliable treatment for post-surgical care.

Functions

Acukat Drops work by reducing inflammation and pain in the eye after cataract surgery. The active ingredient, Nepafenac, acts as an NSAID to inhibit the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that trigger pain, redness, and swelling in the body. By controlling these factors, Acukat Drops help promote faster healing and prevent complications, such as macular edema, which is a common issue for diabetic patients post-surgery. The drops also help to manage eye discomfort during the post-operative period, ensuring a smoother recovery process.

Precautions

Before using Acukat Drops, consult your doctor if you have an acute eye infection, as the medication may mask symptoms. It is important to avoid exposing your eyes to direct sunlight during treatment, as the drops can make your eyes more sensitive to light. If you have a history of complicated eye surgeries, corneal disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you tend to bleed easily, caution is advised. Additionally, discuss your full medical history with your healthcare provider to ensure that Acukat Drops are safe for you.

Side Effects

Some common side effects associated with Acukat Drops include a foreign body sensation, sticky feeling in the eye, temporary stinging, blurred vision, and eye irritation. In rare cases, the use of this medication can lead to more serious side effects, such as capsular opacity (clouding of the eye), corneal epithelial breakdown, or perforation. If you experience any severe symptoms, such as persistent eye pain or vision changes, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Acukat Drops should be used with caution if you have any history of hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or other active ingredients in the medication, including aspirin. This medication is contraindicated in patients with Herpes Simplex Keratitis (a viral eye infection). During treatment, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using Acukat Drops, as the effects during pregnancy and lactation have not been fully established. Always follow the prescribed dosage and usage instructions for optimal safety and effectiveness.
