Description: Ganfort Eye Drop is a combination medication used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It combines two active ingredients: bimatoprost (0.03%) and timolol (0.5%). Bimatoprost works by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. Timolol is a beta-blocker that reduces the production of aqueous humor, further lowering IOP.
Ingredients:
- Bimatoprost 0.03% (prostaglandin analogue)
- Timolol 0.5% (beta-blocker)
Usage Instructions:
- Wash hands before using.
- Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the eye(s) as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily.
- Close your eyes gently for a few minutes, and avoid blinking or rubbing the eye.
Benefits:
- Effectively lowers intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
- Helps prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss associated with elevated eye pressure.
Precautions:
- Use with caution in patients with certain heart conditions, respiratory disorders, or diabetes.
