Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a class of antiglaucoma medications generally used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Riposite Eye Drops 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.
