Iotim Plus Eye Drops 5ml

Iotim-Plus Eye Drops are used for managing the following health conditions:

• Lowering high intraocular pressure (IOP), which is the pressure inside your eyes.

• Controlling open-angle glaucoma, a condition that damages your eye's optic nerve due to high IOP.

• Managing ocular hypertension, another term for high IOP without any noticeable damage to your eyes or vision.

Using Iotim-Plus Eye Drops is straightforward. Follow these steps:

• Ensure your hands are clean before using the eye drops.

• Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid.

• Carefully squeeze the bottle to release the drop into the eye as advised by the doctor.

• Close your eyes for a minute or two. Apply gentle pressure at the corner of your eye closest to your nose to stop the solution from draining away.

• If you are using any other eye medications, wait at least five minutes before using them.

Remember, it's important to consult your doctor for specific advice on using this medicine.

Iotim-Plus Eye Drops are instil topically.

Iotim-Plus Eye Drops contains three active ingredients:

• Timolol (5 mg): Being a non-selective beta blocker, timolol works by reducing the production of aqueous humour in your eyes. Aqueous humour is a clear fluid that fills the front part of the eye.

• Pilocarpine (20 mg): This is a cholinergic agonist which means it acts on certain nerve endings in your eyes. Its function is to increase the outflow of aqueous humour through the trabecular meshwork, which is a tiny drainage area in your eyes that helps control eye pressure.

• Chlorbutol (5 mg): This component doesn't directly affect eye pressure but serves as a preservative in the formulation. It additionally has weak local anaesthetic properties which can help reduce discomfort when instilled the eye drops.

  Together, these components work synergistically to reduce fluid production and improve drainage in your eyes, effectively lowering IOP.

• Store Iotim-Plus Eye Drops at room temperature, ideally not exceeding 25°C.

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

• Always keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Since Iotim-Plus Eye Drops are used to manage ocular hypertension and glaucoma, regular eye exercises can be beneficial. These simple activities, like blinking, rolling your eyes or focusing on different distances can help maintain eye health.

• Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants into your diet. Spinach, kale, strawberries, and oranges are high in these nutrients which support overall eye health.
