Product Overview
About ISOPTO CARPINE
ISOPTO CARPINE is a prescription medication specifically designed to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It contains the active ingredient Pilocarpine Hydrochloride, a muscarinic receptor agonist that helps reduce intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treats glaucoma and ocular hypertension by reducing intraocular pressure.
- Helps to increase the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing pressure.
- May be used in combination with other medications to achieve optimal results.
Active Ingredient & Action
PILOCARPINE HYDROCHLORIDE, the active ingredient in ISOPTO CARPINE, works by stimulating the muscarinic receptors in the eye. This stimulation increases the contraction of the ciliary muscle, which in turn opens the trabecular meshwork and increases the outflow of aqueous humor. As a result, intraocular pressure is reduced, and the risk of glaucoma and related complications is minimized.
Important Notes
ISOPTO CARPINE is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions carefully to avoid any adverse effects. Patients with a history of eye surgery, eye infections, or other medical conditions should consult their doctor before using ISOPTO CARPINE. Additionally, patients should be aware of the potential side effects, such as blurred vision, eye pain, and headaches, and report any unusual symptoms to their doctor promptly.
