Careprost Eye Drop are used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in conditions like open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. This medicine is a prostaglandin analogue containing bimatoprost. It works by increasing the outflow of fluid (aqueous humor) from the eye, which lowers IOP, prevents damage to the optic nerve, and helps prevent potential blindness.
Careprost Eye Drops are used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. They help prevent vision loss and reduce the risk of blindness associated with high IOP conditions.
Ensure your hands are clean before touching the eye drops.
Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze out one drop into this pocket.
Close your eyes gently without blinking or squinting.
Keep your eyes closed for 1 to 2 minutes. This helps the eye drops to absorb into your eyes.
If you're using contact lenses, remember to remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes after applying before reinserting them.
Consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine.
Careprost Eye Drops are instilled topically.
Careprost Eye Drops may cause side effects like eye redness, itching, irritation, burning, dry eyes, foreign-body sensation, eyelash growth and increased iris pigmentation. If these side effects worsen, consult your doctor promptly.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Careprost Eye Drops. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here is some advice to manage common side effects:
Eye Irritation/Burning/Stinging: If you experience these symptoms, try using the drops at bedtime to minimise discomfort during your active hours.
Dry Eyes: Sipping water more often throughout the day may help to keep your body hydrated and alleviate this symptom.
Careprost Eye Drops contains the following components:
Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component acts as a preservative in the solution. It prevents microbial growth inside the multi-dose container and helps maintain its sterility. Additionally, it may enhance corneal permeability to bimatoprost by acting as a surfactant that disrupts bacterial cell membranes.
Bimatoprost (0.03%): This ingredient is a synthetic prostamide similar in structure to prostaglandin F2α, a natural compound in your body. It reduces high IOP by increasing the outflow of a liquid known as aqueous humour through two specific pathways in your eye - the uveoscleral pathway and trabecular meshwork. This process helps maintain normal eye pressure and prevents potential damage caused by high IOP.
If you are pregnant, caution is advised while instilling Careprost Eye Drops. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
It's advisable for nursing mothers to exercise caution and consult a doctor before using this medication.
The interaction of alcohol with Careprost Eye Drops is not generally irrelevant due to its topical application. However, always consult your doctor for guidance.
As there's no specific research on the use of Careprost Eye Drops by patients with liver problems, it's advisable to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
No specific studies have been conducted on how Careprost Eye Drops affects those with kidney ailments. If you have any kidney health issues, it's wise to discuss this with your doctor before use.
As Careprost Eye Drops can sometimes cause temporary blurred vision, care should be taken when driving or operating machinery until your vision clears.
If you have a known allergy to bimatoprost or benzalkonium chloride, using Careprost Eye Drops is contraindicated. Always inform your doctor about any allergies before starting this medication.
The safety and effectiveness of Careprost Eye Drops in children haven't been established. Therefore, it's not recommended for use in patients under the age of 18 years.
No significant differences in safety or effectiveness have been noted between older and younger adult patients using Careprost Eye Drops. However, older patients should always use this medicine under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects.
Careprost Eye Drops interacts with the following medications:
Other Prostaglandin Analogs: Using bimatoprost with other prostaglandin analogs like latanoprost or travoprost can reduce the effectiveness of both medications.
Topical Steroids: Concurrent use with topical steroids like prednisolone acetate can diminish the effectiveness of bimatoprost in lowering intraocular pressure.
Miotics: Combining bimatoprost with miotics like pilocarpine can lead to an unpredictable response in intraocular pressure control.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Using bimatoprost with topical NSAIDs such as ketorolac eye drops can potentially reduce the effectiveness of bimatoprost.
There are no known specific food interactions with Careprost Eye Drops. You can continue your regular diet while using this medication.
Careprost Eye Drops interacts with the following diseases:
Intraocular inflammation: If you have active eye inflammation conditions like iritis or uveitis, using Careprost Eye Drops could potentially exacerbate these conditions.
Macular oedema: People suffering from macular oedema should take caution when using Careprost Eye Drops as it might worsen their condition.
Corneal disease: Consult your doctor before using Careprost Eye Drops if you have severe corneal disease, as this medicine may not be suitable for you.
The daily dose of Careprost Eye Drops must be as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on your individual health condition and response to the medicine. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage.
If you accidentally instil extra Careprost Eye Drops, remain calm. Rinse your eyes with clean water at room temperature. If you notice any uncomfortable symptoms or if they get worse, inform your doctor.
In case you forget to apply Careprost Eye Drops at the scheduled time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never alter your dosage without consulting your doctor.
Store Careprost Eye Drops upright in a cool, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.
Keep the medicine away from direct light and do not freeze it.
Do not leave the bottle open; seal it tightly after use to prevent contamination.
Always keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.
Ensure you use these eye drops before their expiry date.
Regularly exercising your eyes can help manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Simple exercises like blinking, rolling your eyes, or focusing on different distances can stimulate blood flow and improve your eye health.
A diet rich in colourful fruits and vegetables provides essential vitamins and minerals that support eye health. Foods rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids are particularly beneficial for maintaining healthy eyes.
