FAQs
What does Glucotim LA Eye Drop do?
Glucotim LA Eye Drop reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve which is responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually with time lead to blindness. Glucotim LA Eye Drop effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.
How should you use Glucotim LA Eye Drop?
Glucotim LA Eye Drop eye drops are usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals until the pressure in the eye is controlled (about 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once a day or as advised by the doctor. Follow the directions of your doctor carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand. Use Glucotim LA Eye Drop in the dose and duration advised by your doctor.
Can I stop Glucotim LA Eye Drop if I am fine now?
No, you should not stop using Glucotim LA Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking this medicine suddenly, the pressure in your eyes may not be controlled which may increase the risk of loss of sight.
When should I seek a doctor’s advice?
