How Rhopress Eye Drop works
Rhopress 0.2mg Eye Drop 2.5ml contains Netarsudil, a rho kinase inhibitor, which is believed to reduce the pressure inside the eyes called intraocular pressure (IOP), by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork route. Aqueous humor is a transparent water-like fluid in the eye that bathes and nourishes the lens and maintains pressure within the eye. This helps to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
