Ioptame Eye Drop is used to lower the intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It contains Latanoprost, which works by increasing the natural flow of liquid from inside your eye into your bloodstream. This lowers the pressure within your eye and stops your sight from worsening. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as changes in your eye colour, blurred vision, changes in the thickness, length, or colour of your eyelashes, irritation, and dry eyes. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Ioptame Eye Drop
Ioptame Eye Drop belongs to the class of ophthalmic medications indicated to lower the intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).
Ioptame Eye Drop contains Latanoprost, which works by increasing the natural flow of aqueous humour. This lowers the pressure within your eye and stops your sight from worsening.
Ioptame Eye Drop is for ophthalmic use only. You are advised to use Ioptame Eye Drop for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience changes in your eye colour, blurred vision, changes in the thickness, length, or colour of your eyelashes, irritation, and dry eyes. Most of these side effects of Ioptame Eye Drop are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any ingredients in Ioptame Eye Drop. Avoid contact of the dropper tip with your eyes or fingers to prevent contamination. Check with your doctor before starting Ioptame Eye Drop if you have dry eyes, cornea problems, asthma, kidney or liver disease. Also, do not stop Ioptame Eye Drop abruptly, as it may lead to severe side effects. Do not take any other eye medication with Ioptame Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. If you are using two eye medications, never use them together; maintain a gap of at least 5 minutes.
