Description
What is it?
Apfecto is a prescription-only ophthalmic suspension, 0.3% that is used to treat pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain natural substances that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
How to Use
It is important to use Apfecto as directed by your doctor. Before using the medication, always check the label for exact dosing instructions. Make sure to shake the bottle well before each use, and wash your hands to prevent the spread of germs.
To use Apfecto, tilt your head back and pull your lower eyelid away from the eye to form a pouch. Using the applicator, drop the medication into the pouch and close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Be sure to remove any excess medication around your eye with a clean tissue, being careful not to touch your eye.
Precautions
To prevent contamination, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface, including your eye. Always keep the container tightly closed and use a separate bottle of Apfecto for each eye if you’re treating both eyes. This is to avoid the risk of passing an infection from one eye to the other.
It’s also important to note that you should not wear contact lenses while using Apfecto. If you need to wear contact lenses, make sure to sterilize them according to the manufacturer’s directions and check with your doctor before using them.
Finally, if you miss a dose of Apfecto, use it as soon as possible. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use two doses at once.
Conclusion
Apfecto is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is prescribed to alleviate pain and swelling in the eye after cataract surgery.
