3. How to use NEVANAC
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Use NEVANAC only for your eyes. Do not swallow or inject.
The recommended dose is
One drop in the affected eye or eyes, once a day. Use at the same time each day.
When to apply and how long
Start the day before surgery on the curtain of the eye. Continue on the day of surgery. Then use the drops for as long as your doctor tells you.

How to use it
Wash your hands before you start.
Shake well before use.
Turn the closed bottle down and shake it once before each use.
Unscrew the bottle cap.
Once the cap is removed, if it has a protective ring and is loose, remove it before using the product.
Keep the bottle pointing down between your thumb and fingers.
Tilt your head back.
Dissolve the lower eyelid with the cleared finger so that a pocket is formed between it and the eye. The drop should fall into that place.
Make the top of the bottle close to the eye. Make it in front of a mirror if that makes it easy for you.
Do not touch the eye or eyelid, the surrounding area or other surfaces with the tip of the applicator-dropper. This can pollute the drops.
Carefully squeeze the bottle until one drop separates into your eye.
If you use the drops for both eyes, repeat the same steps for the other eye. There is no need to close and shake the bottle between applications in both eyes. After use, immediately insert the bottle cap and close it well.
If the drop does not fall into the eye, try again.
If you use other eye drops, wait at least five minutes between inserting NEVANAC and the other drops.
If you use more NEVANAC than you should
Rinse your eye with warm water. Do not put more drops until the time comes for the next regular dose.
If you forget to use NEVANAC
Put one drop as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip this and continue with the next dose on your regular schedule. Do not put a double dose to make up for the missed dose. Do not put more than one drop into the affected eye (s).
If you stop using NEVANAC
Do not stop using NEVANAC if you have not first been consulted with your doctor. You can usually continue taking the drops unless you get serious side effects.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
