description Background. Medication support of cataract surgery is an integral part of it. The standard regimen of local therapy includes an antibiotic, a glucocorticosteroid, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Each of the many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has unique pharmacological properties, which determines the relevance of information on the choice of a drug from this group in the drug support of cataract surgery.Objective. The purpose of this study is to form an up-to-date understanding of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the drug support of the perioperative period of cataract surgery. The study was conducted in the format of a narrative review. The variety of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used in ophthalmology is represented by diclofenac, ketorolac, bromfenac, indomethacin, and nepafenac. Differences in the chemical structure of the drugs determine the features of their pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. A significant amount of evidence has accumulated in the literature in the form of results of randomized studies with a control group and experimental works indicating positive anti-inflammatory properties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used in the perioperative period of cataract surgery.Conclusion. The presented studies demonstrate that nepafenac exhibits significant pharmacodynamic properties for penetration into the anterior chamber of the eye, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect in the posterior segment of the eye against the background of local application, which determines the unique therapeutic potential of Apfecto. Apfecto is a cost-effective generic nepafenac produced with international quality standards.
