Trioptic Eye Drop
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Trioptic Eye Drop is a combination of medicines used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It also decreases fluid production in the eye and increases drainage, which helps lower IOP.
Use Trioptic Eye Drop in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Shake the bottle well and apply one drop into the eye. Before using it, wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the medicine. Use it regularly and at the same time each day for maximum benefits.
Common side effects include eye irritation, dry eyes, blurred vision, and a bitter taste. If these persist or worsen, contact your doctor. To prevent side effects, do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye or hands, to avoid contamination.
Avoid using Trioptic Eye Drop if you have severe respiratory conditions, heart problems, or allergies to its components. Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking to avoid interactions. Do not use this medication while wearing contact lenses; wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Benefits of Trioptic Eye Drop
In Treatment of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. It can lead to vision loss or blindness if untreated. Trioptic Eye Drop helps treat glaucoma by lowering the pressure inside the eye. The medicine reduces the production of fluid in the eye while enhancing fluid drainage. This multi-mechanism approach helps to achieve and maintain target intraocular pressure (IOP) levels, thereby protecting the optic nerve and preserving vision.
In Treatment of Ocular hypertension
Trioptic Eye Drop helps treat ocular hypertension by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP is a risk factor for developing glaucoma and can lead to optic nerve damage if not controlled. Trioptic Eye Drop helps decrease fluid production and increase fluid drainage in the eye. This helps maintain a healthy IOP, reducing the risk of glaucoma development and preserving eye health.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
