ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML

How ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML Works

• ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML belongs to a class of medications known as sympathomimetics. This eye drop effectively reduces elevated pressure within the eye by targeting the production of aqueous humor. Aqueous humor is a clear fluid naturally present in the eye, and its overproduction can lead to increased intraocular pressure, a primary concern in conditions like glaucoma.
• ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML actively works to diminish the amount of aqueous humor generated within the eye. By decreasing the production of this fluid, the overall pressure inside the eye is subsequently lowered. This mechanism helps to alleviate the strain on the optic nerve, which is crucial for vision. Maintaining healthy intraocular pressure is essential in preventing further damage and preserving visual function, particularly for individuals at risk of or diagnosed with glaucoma. Regular use, as prescribed by an ophthalmologist, can contribute to the long-term management of intraocular pressure and the protection of eyesight.
• The active ingredient in ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML stimulates specific receptors in the eye, leading to a reduction in aqueous humor production. This targeted approach helps to regulate the fluid balance within the eye and maintain a healthy pressure level.

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as your body gets used to the medication. If any side effects persist or cause concern, please consult your doctor.

• Keep ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5ML at room temperature.

• ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML helps to lower elevated pressure within the eye, effectively minimizing the potential for vision loss. This medication is designed to help manage glaucoma or ocular hypertension by reducing fluid production in the eye and increasing fluid outflow.
• To achieve optimal results, administer one drop of ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML into the affected eye(s) two to three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Consistency in application is key to maintaining stable eye pressure.
• Immediately following the instillation of the eye drop, gently apply pressure to the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) for approximately one minute. This technique, known as punctal occlusion, helps to reduce systemic absorption of the medication and maximize its effectiveness within the eye.
• If you wear contact lenses, be sure to remove them before using ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes after applying the drops before re-inserting your lenses. This prevents the medication from interacting with the lens material and ensures proper absorption.
• To prevent contamination of the eye drops, avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye or surrounding areas. Maintaining sterility is crucial to prevent eye infections.
• If you are using other eye medications, allow a gap of at least 5 to 10 minutes between each application to prevent dilution and ensure each medication can work effectively. Administer ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML first, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML may cause temporary blurring of vision immediately after use. Exercise caution when driving or operating machinery until your vision clears. If blurred vision persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
• Some users may experience a temporary burning or itching sensation in the eye upon application. If this sensation persists or becomes bothersome, inform your doctor.
• For optimal efficacy and safety, discard ALPHAGAN P DROPS 5 ML within 4 weeks of opening the bottle, even if there is medication remaining. Record the date of opening on the bottle to help you keep track.
