Benefits of Use

• Effectively reduces elevated intraocular pressure, a key factor in glaucoma progression.
• Helps manage various forms of glaucoma, including open-angle glaucoma and acute angle-closure glaucoma (as part of emergency treatment).
• Induces miosis (pupil constriction), which aids in increasing aqueous humor outflow.
• Provides a reliable option for patients who require cholinergic agonists for their eye condition.

How to Use

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the eye drops.
2. Gently shake the bottle if instructed by your doctor or pharmacist.
3. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
4. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip pointing down, taking care not to touch the tip to your eye, eyelid, or any other surface.
5. Gently squeeze the bottle to release one drop into the created pocket.
6. Close your eye gently for 1-2 minutes and press lightly on the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) to prevent the medicine from draining out.
7. If you need to use more than one drop, wait at least 5 minutes before applying the next drop.
8. Replace the cap tightly after each use.
9. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and frequency.
