Ganfort Eye Drops are used to treat elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, protecting eye health.
Consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Inform them about pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any side effects. Continue using the drops as prescribed.
Ganfort Eye Drops manage elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. These drops effectively reduce eye pressure and are used when other treatments like topical beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues have not been sufficient.
To use Ganfort Eye Drops properly, follow these steps:
Always wash your hands before handling the bottle.
Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a pocket.
Hold the dropper directly over your eye and squeeze out a few drops.
Close your eye gently without blinking and press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for approximately 1 minute to prevent the liquid from draining out.
If you are using more than one eye medication, wait at least 5 minutes between each one.
Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine.
Ganfort Eye Drops are instilled topically.
Ganfort Eye Drops may cause side effects such as conjunctival hyperaemia (redness of the white part of the eye), growth of eyelashes, eye pruritus (itchy eyes), ocular burning (burning sensation), eye dryness, visual disturbance (unclear vision), eye pain, headache, and hypertension (high blood pressure). If these persist, consult your doctor.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Ganfort Eye Drops. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Conjunctival Hyperaemia: If you experience redness in your eyes, try using Ganfort Eye Drops the night before bed.
Ocular Burning: If a burning sensation occurs after using these drops, you may want to use them at bedtime.
Ganfort Eye Drops contain two active ingredients that work together in a multi-targeted approach:
Bimatoprost (0.3 mg): This prostaglandin analogue increases the outflow of fluid from the eye through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. By doing so, bimatoprost effectively reduces the intraocular pressure (IOP).
Timolol Maleate (6.8mg): As a beta-blocker, timolol works by reducing the production of aqueous humour in the ciliary epithelium, thereby further decreasing the IOP. This complements the increased outflow facilitated by bimatoprost.
These two active ingredients work in tandem to effectively manage elevated IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Caution is advised while using Ganfort Eye Drops if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
If you're breastfeeding, it's advisable to discuss with your doctor before using Ganfort Eye Drops. The potential risks and benefits need to be considered.
The interaction of Ganfort Eye Drops with alcohol is not significant. However, if you frequently drink alcohol, it would be wise to consult your doctor.
With any liver health issues, caution is recommended when using Ganfort Eye Drops. It's suggested to discuss these concerns with your doctor before starting this medicine.
If you have a history of kidney problems, care should be taken before using Ganfort Eye Drops. Consulting your doctor before starting this medicine is a good idea.
Ganfort Eye Drops may cause visual disturbance which could affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. If you experience this side effect, avoid such activities until your vision clears.
Ganfort Eye Drops are contraindicated in patients allergic to any component of the medication, including Bimatoprost and Timolol Maleate. Discuss any allergies with your doctor before beginning this medicine.
Ganfort Eye Drops are not recommended for children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
Older patients should use Ganfort Eye Drops under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are over 70 years old, especially those with liver and kidney issues or on other medications. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
Ganfort Eye Drops interacts with the following medicines:
Oral beta-blockers: When used together, they can lower intraocular pressure (IOP) even more, but there's also a higher chance of side effects occurring. Specific medicines include atenolol and metoprolol.
Calcium channel blockers: Medicines such as verapamil and diltiazem can increase the effect of beta-blockade in your system when taken with Ganfort Eye Drops.
Catecholamine-depleting medicines: These like reserpine, when taken alongside Ganfort Eye Drops can make systemic beta-blockade stronger.
Digitalis glycosides: These medications, such as digoxin, pose a risk of slowing your heart rate (bradycardia) when used with Ganfort Eye Drops.
There are no specific food interactions known with Ganfort Eye Drops.
Ganfort Eye Drops interacts with the following diseases:
Bronchial asthma or history of bronchial asthma: The active ingredient timolol in Ganfort Eye Drops could cause bronchospasm, which may worsen these conditions.
Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Timolol may cause breathing difficulties in patients with severe COPD.
Sinus bradycardia, second or third-degree atrioventricular block, overt cardiac failure, or cardiogenic shock: Patients with these conditions should not use Ganfort Eye Drops due to the potential for worsening of these heart conditions.
Your doctor will recommend the daily dose of Ganfort Eye Drops, taking into account your individual condition and response to treatment. It's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to exceed it without consulting your doctor.
If you accidentally instil more Ganfort Eye Drops than recommended, do not panic. Rinse your eyes with clean water at room temperature. If any symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.
If you miss a dose of Ganfort Eye Drops, instil it as soon as you recall. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, bypass the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never adjust your dosage without discussing it with your doctor.
Store Ganfort Eye Drops at a temperature below 25°C.
Keep the bottle well-protected from light.
Ensure the medicine is always kept out of reach of children.
Regular eye exercises can help manage open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, the conditions for which Ganfort Eye Drops are prescribed. Make sure to consult your doctor for appropriate exercises.
Hydration is essential. Aim to drink around eight glasses of water per day to maintain body hydration and support overall health, including eye health.
