Eye Drops

Product Details:

Pilocar Eye Drops contain pilocarpine, a medication commonly used to treat conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), particularly glaucoma. Pilocarpine is a miotic agent, meaning it causes the pupil to constrict, which leads to an improved drainage of fluid from the eye and a reduction in intraocular pressure. Mechanism of Action
Pilocarpine works by stimulating the muscarinic receptors in the eye's smooth muscles, particularly the ciliary muscle. This causes the pupil to constrict (miosis) and increases the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye) through the trabecular meshwork. By facilitating this drainage, pilocarpine reduces the pressure inside the eye, which is critical for managing glaucoma.Common Uses
Pilocar Eye Drops are prescribed for the following conditions:
    Open-Angle Glaucoma: Pilocarpine is most commonly used to manage open-angle glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where the drainage angle in the eye is open but fluid does not drain properly. This results in an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). By improving fluid drainage, Pilocar helps reduce IOP, preserving vision and preventing further damage to the optic nerve.
    Ocular Hypertension: In people with ocular hypertension (elevated IOP without optic nerve damage), Pilocar can be used to prevent the progression to glaucoma by lowering eye pressure.
    Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Pilocarpine may also be used as part of the initial treatment for acute angle-closure glaucoma, a medical emergency in which the eye's drainage angle becomes blocked, leading to a rapid increase in eye pressure. Pilocarpine helps constrict the pupil, which can temporarily open the drainage angle and reduce pressure.
    Preoperative Use in Eye Surgery: Pilocar can be administered before eye surgery to constrict the pupil, providing better visibility for the surgeon and improving the surgical procedure's overall outcome.
Dosage and Administration
Pilocar Eye Drops should be used according to the doctor’s prescription. Typically, the recommended dose is one or two drops in the affected eye (or eyes) two to four times a day, depending on the condition being treated. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended frequency, as overuse may increase the risk of side effects.
To use Pilocar drops:
    Wash your hands thoroughly before application.    Tilt your head slightly backward and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.    Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into this pocket, avoiding direct contact with the dropper and the eye to prevent contamination.    Close your eye and gently press the corner of the eye near the nose for a few seconds to prevent the drops from draining into the tear duct.
Side Effects and Precautions
While Pilocar Eye Drops are generally well-tolerated, they may cause some temporary side effects. The most common side effects include:
    Temporary blurred vision (especially just after application)    Eye irritation, including burning or stinging    Headache    Redness in the eye    Tearing or watery eyes
In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, including:
    Eye pain    Severe headache    Nausea or vomiting    Vision changes, such as seeing halos or blurred vision, particularly in low light
If any of these serious side effects occur, or if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing), you should seek medical attention immediately.
