• Careprost Eye Drop is prescribed to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in adults diagnosed with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. High pressure in the eye can potentially damage vision, even leading to blindness. This medicine helps by promoting the drainage of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream, reducing the pressure.
• Careprost Eye Drop is suitable for both adults and children and can be used either alone or in combination with other eye medications for optimal pressure reduction. Always follow your doctor's guidance and use this medicine consistently to achieve the best results. Discontinuing the medication may lead to an increase in eye pressure and may harm your vision. Never use the eye drop if the bottle's seal is broken. If you wear contact lenses, be sure to remove them before applying the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Common side effects include redness in the eye (conjunctival hyperemia) and eye irritation such as itching. If you experience any side effects, consult your doctor, as they may offer solutions to minimize them or recommend alternative treatments. If you experience temporary blurred vision or other changes in sight, avoid driving until your vision returns to normal. This side effect is generally short-lived.
