Nevanac Ophthalmic Suspension is a pain relieving medicine used to treat pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery. It blocks and reduces the release of certain chemicals in the eye that cause pain and swelling. This makes the healing process after eye surgery more comfortable and helps the eye heal faster.

This may lead to infection.
Use of the medicine may cause decreased vision, foreign body sensation in the eyes, and increased intraocular pressure. These are usually temporary and resolve with time.
