About MONOSOPT EYE DROPS 5ML
MONOSOPT EYE DROPS 5ML belongs to a class of eye-related medicine called 'antiglaucoma' primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye. It helps to prevent the gradual loss of vision or eyesight by lowering the increased pressure in the eyes. Glaucoma is an eye problem in which the optic nerve is damaged, thereby leading to increased eye pressure, and if left untreated, it can lead to permanent blindness.
MONOSOPT EYE DROPS 5ML contains Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by lowering the pressure in the eye. MONOSOPT EYE DROPS 5ML should be put only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.
