Alphagan P Eye Drops 5Ml

Alphagan P Eye Drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma, helping to protect sight over the long term.

Uses of Alphagan P Eye Drops are:

• Ocular Hypertension: Lowers high pressure inside the eye.
• Open-Angle Glaucoma: Reduces raised eye pressure to help protect the optic nerve.
• Vision Protection: By controlling eye pressure, helps lower the long-term risk of vision loss.

Administer Alphagan P Eye Drops by following these steps:

• Begin by thoroughly washing your hands.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down on the lower eyelid to create a small pocket for the drop.

• Hold the dropper above the eye, squeeze out one drop, and then close your eye.

• Use your finger to gently press on the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute to prevent the liquid from draining into your tear duct.

• If you need to use another drop or another type of eyedrop, wait at least 5 minutes before administering it.

• Remember to replace and tighten the cap straight after use.

• For personalised advice on how to use this medicine, please consult your doctor.

Alphagan P Eye Drops are applied topically.

Alphagan P Eye Drops contains two active ingredients:

• Brimonidine Tartrate (0.15%): This acts as an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It reduces IOP by lowering aqueous humour production – a fluid that fills the front part of our eyes. In doing so, it helps to relieve pressure within the eye.

• Stabilized Oxychloro Complex (Purite) (0.005%): This component provides antimicrobial activity while being gentle to the ocular surface. It adds a protective layer against harmful microorganisms, ensuring that your eyes stay free from infections while using this medication.

• Store Alphagan P Eye Drops in a cool place.

• Keep the medicine away from light to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always secure the cap tightly after use to avoid exposure to air.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach for children's safety.

• Make sure you use the eye drops before the expiry date printed on the bottle.

• Regularly engaging in exercises that promote eye health, like blinking and focusing, could be beneficial when managing glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

• A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish or flaxseeds, may help improve overall eye health. However, you should always consult your doctor before making significant dietary changes.
