Monoprost

Monoprost is a medication used primarily for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eyes, thereby reducing pressure.

Benefits

• Effectively lowers intraocular pressure.
• Helps prevent damage to the optic nerve.
• Reduces the risk of vision loss associated with glaucoma.

How to Use

Administer Monoprost as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, it is applied as one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination.

Possible Side Effects

• Common side effects may include eye irritation, redness, or a feeling of something in the eye.
• Less common side effects can include changes in eyelash growth or color changes in the iris.

Warnings and Precautions

Before using Monoprost, inform your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions. Use with caution if you have a history of eye infections or other eye conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.

Storage

Store Monoprost at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children.
