About Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml

Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml belongs to 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml is also used to prevent postoperative elevated IOP associated with laser surgery and the induction of miosis (excessive constriction (shrinking) of the eye's pupil). Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal due to poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml contains Pilocarpine. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agonist and works by draining the excess fluid from the eye, thereby reducing pressure. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml should be used only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml are headache/brow ache, accommodative change, eye irritation, eye pain, blurred vision, and/or visual impairment.

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

It should be used cautiously in children or adolescents under 18, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Aurocarpine Ophthalmic Solution 1 ml may interact with alcohol, so do not consume alcohol while using this medicine.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal due to poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye). Essentially, this means that too much fluid enters the eye without being drained, causing high amounts of pressure to build up. The increased pressure can be due to certain other diseases, an injury, or an adverse effect of certain medications. If left untreated, it can lead to optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss.

Glaucoma: Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. If it is not treated in time, it may cause blindness. Usually, there are no symptoms of glaucoma initially except the slow loss of vision gradually. However, some symptoms include visible rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights or blurred vision. Rarely, glaucoma can develop suddenly with intense pain in the eye, visual disturbance, or nausea.
