Product introduction

Always wash your hands before using Bexol Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed and wait for about five minutes between each drop. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you are also using another eye medicine, wait for at least 10 minutes before using it. Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine for a full guide on how to use the drops and get the most benefit. Do not touch the tip of the dropper or bottle. This may lead to infection. You should use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit and it is best done at the same time(s) each day. If you want to stop using it, consult your doctor first.

The most common side effects are blurred vision, irritation, or pain in the eye, watery eyes, and headache. There are other, less common, side effects affecting other parts of the body, some of which may be serious as Bexol Eye Drop is absorbed into the systemic circulation. Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine and consult your doctor if you are bothered by any side effects.

You should not use this medicine if you have asthma, severe COPD, or a serious heart condition. Inform your doctor if you have, or have had, coronary heart disease, heart failure, diabetes, breathing problems, an overactive thyroid gland or liver, or kidney disease. It is not known if this medicine will harm an unborn baby but tell your doctor if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant. Bexol Eye Drop should not be used if you are breastfeeding.

Benefits of BEXOL (JAWA) Eye Drop

Glaucoma
Bexol Eye Drop belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It reduces pressure in the eyes (ocular hypertension) that can lead to an illness called glaucoma. It may be used alone or with other eye drops. Do not use it too often as that can make it less effective. You should only use it in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. Most people with glaucoma do not feel sick. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled. This could lead to a loss of sight.

Ocular hypertension
Bexol Eye Drop helps reduce pressure in your eyes. It increases the flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. You should use it regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
