Nepafenac 0.1% is the most widely used post operative eye drop after cataract surgery. Every day a new brand comes up and is presented to the surgeon as the best possible option for the patient.Most surgeons are sceptical about changing to a new brand. No study has been done to find out whether the home grown brands are better or the multinational expensive brands are efficacious.Aim- This study was done to to compare between a indian brand (X)Nepafenac with a widely used multinational brand(Y) on the parameters of intensity, efficacy, tolerability and compliance.Methods- 300 patients were divided into two groups of 150 each randomly.One group was prescribed brand X and the other Y and were studied on said parameters on Day 1,7 and 30.Conclusion-No clinical significant difference was found between the two groups.Brand X Nepafenac was found to be efficacious similar to the multinational brand(Y).
