Azarga Eye Drops 5Ml

Azarga Eye Drop 5ml is used to reduce high pressure inside the eye in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, when treatment with a single medicine does not provide sufficient reduction.

Uses of Azarga Eye Drop 5ml are:

• Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension: Combines two mechanisms to reduce eye fluid production and lower intraocular pressure more effectively than a single medicine.

Azarga Eye Drops should be administered as outlined below:

• Before use, ensure your hands are clean.

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

• Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out a drop.

• Close your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes with your head tilted down, without blinking or squinting.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip against your eye or anything else to avoid contamination.

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Azarga Eye Drops. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

• For specific advice regarding your condition, consult your doctor.

Azarga Eye Drops are applied topically.

Azarga Eye Drops contain multiple active components that work together to reduce eye pressure:

• Brinzolamide (1%): This ingredient is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by reducing the production of a fluid called aqueous humour in the eye. This action helps decrease the intraocular pressure.

• Timolol (0.5%): Classified as a beta-blocker, timolol also contributes to lowering eye pressure by decreasing the formation of aqueous humour. It is thought to achieve this by blocking beta receptors in the eye.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component doesn't directly affect eye pressure but is included as an antimicrobial preservative. It helps prevent bacterial contamination of the eye drops.

• Store Azarga Eye Drops at a temperature range of 2°C to 25°C.

• Keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

• Always ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Use before the expiry date printed on the bottle.

• Regular eye exercises: As you're managing glaucoma or ocular hypertension with Azarga Eye Drops, consider adopting some easy eye exercises. These can help stimulate circulation and relieve stress on your eyes. But remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercises.

• Healthy diet: Include foods rich in Vitamin A, C, and E and minerals like Copper and Zinc, which are important for eye health. Foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and kale can be beneficial.
