Coolprost Eye Drop

Coolprost Eye Drop is used in the treatment of Glaucoma. The detailed use of Coolprost Eye Drop is as follows:

• Treatment of Glaucoma/Ocular Hypertension: Coolprost Eye Drop is used to reduce pressure inside the eye by increasing the amount of fluid that drains from the eye, helping to prevent vision loss and damage to the optic nerve.

• Coolprost Eye Drop contains Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analogue.
• It is primarily used in treating the high pressure of the eye in patients with glaucoma.
• It works by increasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby reducing eye pressure.

• Follow your doctor’s recommendation regarding the dosage and duration.
• Lie down and tilt your head backwards. Pull your lower eyelid gently with your index finger to form a pocket. Instil the number of drops as advised by the doctor into the pocket of the lower eyelid. Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
• Replace the outer cap after use.
• Do not touch the container’s tip to the eye, eyelids, or surrounding areas, as it may contaminate Coolprost Eye Drop.

• Avoid intake of baked foods such as cakes, cookies, doughnuts or fried items such as French fries and stick margarine as these foods may worsen glaucoma and damage the optic nerve.
• Cut down your coffee intake as it may increase pressure in the eye, and replace coffee with green tea.
• Avoid exercises such as any position where the head is lower than the body, like an inverted yoga pose, as it may increase pressure in the eye.
• Doing selective exercises is advised for glaucoma patients.

• Do not use Coolprost Eye Drop if you are allergic or hypersensitive to any of its components.
• Inform your doctor about all the prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, especially eye medications and products that contain aspirin and vitamins.
• If you have a kidney problem, uveitis, macular oedema, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before starting Coolprost Eye Drop, and dose adjustment may be required.
• If you are taking other eye medication, please tell your doctor beforehand.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Coolprost Eye Drop, and you can put them back 15 minutes after using Coolprost Eye Drop.
• Wash your hands properly before using Coolprost Eye Drop to avoid any infection.
