Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml

Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml belongs to 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml is also used to prevent postoperative elevated IOP associated with laser surgery and the induction of miosis (excessive constriction (shrinking) of the eye's pupil). Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal due to poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml contains Pilocarpine. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agonist and works by draining the excess fluid from the eye, thereby reducing pressure. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml should be used only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.

It decreases the fluid production in the eye and increases the natural flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream.  These effects help to decrease the pressure and swelling inside the eye. It helps improve vision and prevent the complications of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension complications.
