Acukat Eye Drop 0.10% (5ml) contains Nepafenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in ophthalmic form to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in the eyes. It is commonly prescribed after eye surgeries such as cataract surgery to control postoperative inflammation and improve healing comfort.

This medicine works by blocking prostaglandins, which are chemical substances responsible for causing pain and inflammation in the eye tissues. It is a prescription-only eye drop and should be used strictly under medical supervision.
