GLUCOPTIC DROP is used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). It contains Betaxolol, which works by decreasing the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) by the ciliary body into the eyeball. Thereby lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball. In some cases, you may experience watery eyes, discomfort in the eye, headache or blurred vision. You are advised to remove soft contact lenses before using this medicine as it may cause discolouration of soft contact lenses.

About GLUCOPTIC DROP

GLUCOPTIC DROP is used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye condition which causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

GLUCOPTIC DROP works by decreasing the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) by the ciliary body into the eyeball. Thereby lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

Use GLUCOPTIC DROP as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how many drops to instil based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience watery eyes, discomfort in the eye, headache or blurred vision. Most of these side effects of GLUCOPTIC DROP do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to GLUCOPTIC DROP or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. GLUCOPTIC DROP is not recommended for children. You are advised to maintain a time gap of 5 to 15 minutes between using other eye drops and GLUCOPTIC DROP. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking GLUCOPTIC DROP. You are advised to remove soft contact lenses before using GLUCOPTIC DROP as it may cause discolouration of soft contact lenses. Do not use GLUCOPTIC DROP if you have severe chronic obstructive bronchitis, severe asthma, heart failure, irregular heartbeats or slow heartbeat. GLUCOPTIC DROP may mask low blood sugar symptoms. Therefore, if you have diabetes, inform your doctor before taking GLUCOPTIC DROP. If you have myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), inform your doctor as GLUCOPTIC DROP may worsen its symptoms.

Uses of GLUCOPTIC DROP

GLUCOPTIC DROP is used in the treatment of Glaucoma (high pressure in eyes). The detailed uses of GLUCOPTIC DROP are as follows:<br/>• Treatment of Glaucoma: GLUCOPTIC DROP helps to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma, slowing disease progression and preserving vision by decreasing fluid production in the eye.<br/>• Management of Ocular Hypertension: GLUCOPTIC DROP effectively manages high pressure in the eyes, reducing the risk of glaucoma development.<br/>

Directions for Use

• Follow your doctor’s advice 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 GLUCOPTIC DROP.

Medicinal Benefits

Thereby, lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

How GLUCOPTIC DROP Works

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of baked foods such as cakes, cookies, donuts or fried items such as French fries and stick margarine as these foods may worsen glaucoma and damage 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 body like inverted yoga pose as it may increase pressure in the eye. Doing selective exercises is advised for glaucoma patients.
