Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml

Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to a class of antiglaucoma medications generally used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml is usually used when no other medicine effectively treats glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (necessary for optimal vision) due to unusually high eye pressure. Ocular hypertension is an increase in ocular pressure caused by inadequate aqueous humour outflow (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Ripasudil has high intraocular permeability and works by decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) and enhancing flow facility, resulting in a drop in eye pressure.

Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml is administered in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. The doctor will alter the dose based on your condition and response to the medication. Conjunctival congestion, conjunctival inflammation, eye discomfort, and inflammation of eyelids may occur in some situations. Most side effects do not require medical treatment and fade with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Continue using Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to treat your illness effectively. If you are allergic to Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml or its ingredients, do not use it without consulting a doctor. If you are a pregnant or nursing mother, consult your doctor before using Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml. Consuming alcohol with Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml may raise the chance of serious side effects. If you use more than one ophthalmic medicine, give each one at least a ten-minute gap. Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml may induce temporary blurred vision; therefore, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear. Before taking Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects.

Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to a class of medications known as antiglaucoma drugs. Ripatec Eye Drop 5 ml contains Ripasudil, which has high intraocular permeability. It decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) in a dose-dependent manner and enhances flow facility, resulting in a decrease in eye pressure.

• If you wear contact lenses, clean and replace them more frequently. Never share your contact lenses. Always cleanse your hands before putting on the contact lens.
• Wipe your eyes and face with clean towels or tissues at all times.
• Maintain good hygiene to keep your eyes clean and clear of irritants.
• Do not rub your eyes.
• Avoid looking at digital screens for extended periods of time.
• Wash your hands thoroughly, and do not touch the dropper before using drops to avoid contamination.

• Routine eye examinations are suggested at least every two years to detect glaucoma.

Glaucoma: Glaucoma is an eye condition that occurs when the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, is injured. It is usually caused by a build-up of fluid in the front of the eye, which raises the pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can cause vision loss if it is not detected and treated early.

Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is the accumulation of pressure in the eye caused by insufficient aqueous humor outflow (fluid inside the eye that maintains normal pressure).
