About Pilopress Eye Drop
Pilopress Eye Drop belongs to 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Pilopress Eye Drop 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.
Pilopress Eye Drop contains Pilocarpine. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agonist and works by draining the excess fluid from the eye, thereby reducing pressure. Pilopress Eye Drop 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 Pilopress Eye Drop are headache/brow ache, accommodative change, eye irritation, eye pain, blurred vision, and/or visual impairment. Most of these side effects of Pilopress Eye Drop do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
It is not recommended to take Pilopress Eye Drop if you are allergic to any contents of it. Pilopress Eye Drop should not be used in patients with a medical history of eye problems such as pre-existing retinal disease, cataracts (a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes progressively opaque, resulting in blurred vision), acute iritis (inflammation of the coloured part of the eye) or anterior uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye), and secondary glaucoma (have an identifiable cause of optic nerve damage). It should be used cautiously in children or adolescents under 18, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Pilopress Eye Drop may interact with alcohol, so do not consume alcohol while using this medicine. Pilopress Eye Drop may temporarily cause vision loss, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you experience blurred vision.

Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Pilopress Eye Drop is used to reduce pressure inside the eye. It decreases the fluid production in the eye and increases the natural flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream. These effects help to decrease the pressure and swelling inside the eye. It helps improve vision and prevent the complications of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension complications.

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.
