About TAFLUMA EYE DROPS 2.5ML

TAFLUMA EYE DROPS 2.5ML belongs to the group of medicines called prostaglandin analogue indicated for lowering intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

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). 
 
TAFLUMA EYE DROPS 2.5ML contains ‘tafluprost’, which works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour, thereby helps lower the increased pressure in the eye.
