IOTIM PLUS EYE DROPS 5 ML

How IOTIM PLUS EYE DROPS 5 ML Works

• IOTIM PLUS Eye Drops 5ml is a combination medication designed to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension, conditions characterized by increased pressure inside the eye. It works through a dual mechanism to effectively lower this pressure and protect the optic nerve from damage.
• Timolol, a beta-blocker, is one of the active ingredients. It functions by reducing the production of aqueous humor, the fluid that fills the front part of the eye. By decreasing the amount of fluid being produced, timolol helps to lower intraocular pressure.
• Brimonidine, the other active ingredient, is an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist. It works in two ways: firstly, it reduces the production of aqueous humor, similar to timolol, but through a different pathway. Secondly, it increases the outflow of aqueous humor, helping the fluid to drain more efficiently from the eye. This dual action further contributes to lowering intraocular pressure.
• The combined effect of timolol and brimonidine results in a more significant reduction in intraocular pressure than either medication could achieve alone. This synergistic effect is crucial in managing glaucoma and preventing further vision loss.
• By consistently using IOTIM PLUS Eye Drops as prescribed, individuals with glaucoma or ocular hypertension can effectively manage their condition and minimize the risk of optic nerve damage, thereby preserving their vision. It's essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and application instructions provided by your doctor for optimal results and to minimize potential side effects. Always consult your ophthalmologist for any concerns or questions regarding your eye health and treatment plan.
