Amplinak Ophthalmic Suspension 5 ml is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drop used to treat pain and inflammation after cataract surgery. It contains Nepafenac, an NSAID that works by blocking the production of prostaglandins—natural substances in the eye responsible for pain, redness, and swelling. The suspension is primarily prescribed to patients recovering from cataract surgery and is particularly beneficial for diabetic patients who are at risk of developing macular oedema. Applied directly to the eye, Amplinak promotes healing, minimizes discomfort, and improves post-surgical outcomes when used as prescribed by an eye specialist.

How Amplinak Ophthalmic Suspension works
Amplinak Ophthalmic Suspension contains nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that becomes active once it enters the eye. Prostaglandins cause inflammation, pain, and swelling in the eye tissues after surgery. By blocking their formation, the medication reduces these symptoms and promotes healing. The formulation allows for deep penetration into the eye’s posterior segment, making it effective even in cases where the risk of macular oedema is high. The drops are applied directly into the conjunctival sac, ensuring localized action. This reduces the chances of systemic side effects that are more common with oral anti-inflammatories.
Side effects
- Clouding of the lens capsule
