Betafree Eye Drops 5ml

Betafree Eye Drops are meant for managing the following:

• Lowering elevated intraocular pressure in individuals with open-angle glaucoma: This condition is caused by blockage of the eye's drainage channels, leading to increased pressure inside the eye.

• Reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension: This is a situation where the pressure within the eyes is higher than normal, increasing the risk for glaucoma.

• Preserving vision in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension: By reducing intraocular pressure, this medicine helps to prevent vision loss associated with these conditions.

Follow these steps when using Betafree Eye Drops:

• Make sure your hands are clean before applying the drops.

• Shake the bottle well before each use.

• Tilt your head back and pull down your 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 without blinking or squinting.

• If you need to use more than one drop, wait at least 5 minutes before applying the next one.

• For specific advice on how to use these eye drops, consult your doctor.

Betafree Eye Drops is administered topically.

Betafree Eye Drops contain a combination of three active ingredients that work together to manage intraocular pressure. The mechanisms of action are as follows:

• Brinzolamide (1%): A type of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the formation of aqueous humour. By inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which is responsible for the production of this fluid, brinzolamide helps in further reducing intraocular pressure.

• Brimonidine (0.2%): This is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that decreases the production of aqueous humour (the clear fluid in the eye) and increases its outflow. This dual action effectively lowers the intraocular pressure.

• Benzalkonium chloride (0.02%): Acts as a preservative and disinfectant in eye drops. It helps maintain the product's sterility and prevents microbial growth.

• Keep Betafree Eye Drops at a cool room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity.

• Ensure the bottle is properly closed after each use.

• Store it in a safe place, out of reach and sight of children.

• Make sure to use the product before the mentioned expiry date.

• If you have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, maintaining a regular exercise regime can help manage your condition. Regular physical activity can improve your overall health and reduce intraocular pressure.

• Adopting a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains can also be beneficial. These foods contain essential nutrients that can support eye health. Do consult your doctor for specific dietary advice tailored to your needs.
