About Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml

Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml is an anti-glaucoma agent belonging to the class of medicines called rho kinase inhibitors indicated for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Glaucoma 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). 
 
Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml contains ‘netarsudil’, which works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour; this helps lower the increased pressure in the eye. Thereby, Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml helps treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
 
You are advised to use Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as blurred vision, instillation site pain, and redness of the eye. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Netasudil 0.02% Eye Drops 2.5Ml is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Glaucoma: It 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 for 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.

Ocular hypertension: It is a condition caused due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow). This leads to a build-up of excess fluid in the eye resulting in increased pressure inside the eye without any damage to the optic nerve. If ocular hypertension is not controlled, it may lead to glaucoma.
