Use Nevanac Eye Drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or longer than recommended. To apply the Nevanac eye drops:

• Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
• Shake the eye drops well just before you use them.
• Tilt your head slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the dropper and squeeze out a drop.
• Close your eye and gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct.
• Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed. If you use more than one drop, wait about 5 minutes between drops.
• Wait 10 minutes before using any other eye drops your doctor has prescribed.
• Please do not touch the tip of the eye dropper or place it directly on your eye. A contaminated dropper can infect your eye, leading to serious vision problems.
