Mio Chol Injection is a cholinergic agonist. It works by allowing excess aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) to drain from the eye, thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. It also helps reverse the effect of medicines that increase the size of the pupil.

It makes your vision blurry. Avoid driving or attention-seeking activity until you know how it affects you.
If you wear contact lenses, consult with your doctor when you can wear them or use them again.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
