Product introduction

Ocudor Eye Drop is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes. This pressure can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight. Ocudor Eye Drop works by decreasing the amount of fluid inside the eye.

Never use Ocudor Eye Drop if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. Otherwise, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled and this could damage your sight.

The most common side effects of Ocudor Eye Drop are stinging and burning sensation, blurred vision, eyelid inflammation, and bitter taste in your mouth. Sometimes people experience more general effects such as headache, nausea, tiredness, or eye irritation. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear.

Do not use this medicine if you have severe kidney problems or are allergic to medicines called sulphonamides. Talk to your doctor before taking it if you have liver problems, dry eyes, or cornea problems. Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor tells you to.

FAQs

What does Ocudor Eye Drop do?

Ocudor Eye Drop reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This reduces the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. Ocudor Eye Drop effectively controls glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

How long does Ocudor Eye Drop take to work?

Usually, Ocudor Eye Drop starts working soon after instilling it. However, it may take around 8 hours to show beneficial effects. Consult your doctor if you do not find significant results or if your eyes feel irritated after using Ocudor Eye Drop.

Can I stop Ocudor Eye Drop if I am fine now?

No, you should not stop using Ocudor Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking this medicine suddenly, the pressure in your eyes may not be controlled which may increase the risk of loss of sight. Consult your doctor if you wish to stop the medication.

Should I keep Ocudor Eye Drop in the refrigerator?

You do not need to refrigerate Ocudor Eye Drop after opening the bottle. However, store it in a cool place and below 25℃. Keep the container tightly closed and away from sunlight.
