Micropost Eye Drop (Travoprost) x5ml

Micropost Eye Drop (Travoprost) is an ophthalmic solution used to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, it helps lower eye pressure, thereby preventing optic nerve damage and potential vision loss.

Uses

Micropost Eye Drop is primarily used to treat high intraocular pressure in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.

Benefits

• Reduces intraocular pressure
• Prevents optic nerve damage
• Helps prevent vision loss
• Treats open-angle glaucoma
• Manages ocular hypertension

How It Works

Travoprost, the active ingredient in Micropost Eye Drop, is a prostaglandin analog. It works by increasing the drainage of fluid (aqueous humor) from the eye, which helps to lower intraocular pressure. This mechanism is crucial for preventing damage to the optic nerve and maintaining healthy vision.

Dosage

The recommended dosage for Micropost Eye Drop is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to use the drops more frequently than directed, as this can reduce their effectiveness.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Micropost Eye Drop include:

• Eye redness
• Ocular discomfort
• Reduced visual acuity
• Conjunctival hyperemia
• Ocular pain and irritation

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

Warning

Before using Micropost Eye Drop, inform your healthcare provider if you have any pre-existing eye conditions, such as macular edema, iritis, or uveitis. Remove contact lenses before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Regular eye check-ups are recommended to monitor for any changes in eye color or other side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Consult your healthcare provider before using Micropost Eye Drop if you are pregnant or breastfeeding to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

Interaction

• Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Avoid using other eye medications simultaneously unless directed by your healthcare provider.
