pilocarpine 2 w v

Pilocar 2% Eye Drop contains Pilocarpine 2%, a cholinergic (miotic) medication used to reduce increased intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by stimulating the muscles within the eye, improving the drainage of aqueous humor (eye fluid), thereby lowering eye pressure and helping protect the optic nerve from damage. It may also be used to constrict the pupil after certain eye procedures or to reverse the effects of pupil-dilating medications. Key Benefits Helps reduce elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma. Aids in the management of ocular hypertension. Supports the prevention of vision loss associated with high eye pressure. Induces pupil constriction (miosis) when clinically indicated. Prescription ophthalmic solution for ophthalmologist-directed use. Active Ingredient Pilocarpine Hydrochloride 2% w/v How It Works Pilocarpine stimulates muscarinic receptors in the eye, causing contraction of the ciliary muscle and constriction of the pupil. This opens the eye's drainage channels, allowing excess aqueous humor to drain more effectively and reducing intraocular pressure. Directions for Use Use only as prescribed by your ophthalmologist. Wash your hands before application. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s). Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface. If using other eye medications, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications. Remove contact lenses before use unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Possible Side Effects Some users may experience: Temporary blurred vision Eye irritation or burning sensation Headache or brow ache Eye pain Increased tearing Reduced night vision due to pupil constriction Seek medical attention if severe eye pain, sudden vision changes, or signs of an allergic reaction occur. Storage Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date. Note: Pilocar 2% Eye Drop is a prescription medicine and should be used only under the supervision of a qualified eye care specialist.
