Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with nepafenac ophthalmic, especially other steroid eye drops. It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on nepafenac used in the eyes. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all medicines you use, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
