Introduction
Takfenac Eye Drop is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat postoperative eye pain and inflammation. It works by stopping the release of certain natural substances in the eye that are responsible for pain and inflammation. Always wash your hands before using Takfenac Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed and wait for about five minutes between each drop. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. You should not touch the tip of the dropper or bottle. This may lead to infection. Use of the medicine may cause blurred vision, increased sensitivity to light, change in color vision, decreased vision, eye pain, sore eyes, and teary eye. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. However, if they persist or get worse, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

Quick Tips
Your doctor has prescribed Takfenac Eye Drop for the relief of post-operative eye pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Usually a 4 to 6-week course may be necessary. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 mins. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer. Notify your doctor if you are on blood thinners or have bleeding problems. Use the eye drops within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
