About Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml

Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a class of antiglaucoma medications generally used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml is usually used when no other medicine effectively treats glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (necessary for optimal vision) due to unusually high eye pressure. Ocular hypertension is an increase in ocular pressure caused by inadequate aqueous humour outflow (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Ripasudil has high intraocular permeability and works by decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) and enhancing flow facility, resulting in a drop in eye pressure.

Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml is administered in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. The doctor will alter the dose based on your condition and response to the medication. Conjunctival congestion, conjunctival inflammation, eye discomfort, and inflammation of eyelids may occur in some situations. Most side effects do not require medical treatment and fade with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Continue using Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to treat your illness effectively. If you are allergic to Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml or its ingredients, do not use it without consulting a doctor. If you are a pregnant or nursing mother, consult your doctor before using Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml. Consuming alcohol with Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml may raise the chance of serious side effects. If you use more than one ophthalmic medicine, give each one at least a ten-minute gap. Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml may induce temporary blurred vision; therefore, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear. Before taking Riposite Eye Drops 5 ml, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Glaucoma: Glaucoma is an eye condition that occurs when the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, is injured. It is usually caused by a build-up of fluid in the front of the eye, which raises the pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can cause vision loss if it is not detected and treated early.

Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is the accumulation of pressure in the eye caused by insufficient aqueous humor outflow (fluid inside the eye that maintains normal pressure).
