Pilocar 2% Eye Drops

Pilocar 2% Eye Drop  contain Pilocarpine, a cholinergic agent that helps reduce high eye pressure in conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By stimulating natural drainage of fluid from the eye, it prevents optic nerve damage and vision loss.

It also helps contract the pupil, improving focus in certain eye conditions. Pilocar is doctor-prescribed and should be used as directed for safe and effective results. Regular use ensures stable eye pressure, protecting long-term vision.

Always follow precautionary measures, especially if using other eye medications. Keep your eyes healthy with Pilocar 2% Eye Drops.

Uses 

• Glaucoma Treatment – Lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent vision loss.

• Ocular Hypertension – Reduces high eye pressure, protecting the optic nerve.

• Miosis (Pupil Constriction) – Helps constrict the pupil, improving focus in certain eye conditions.

• Post-Surgery Eye Care – Used after specific eye surgeries to manage pressure.

• Treats Acute Angle-Closure Crisis – Provides emergency relief for sudden eye pressure spikes.

How to Use Pilocar 2% Eye Drops?

Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill one drop into the affected eye(s) as prescribed.

Close your eyes gently for 1-2 minutes to allow absorption. Avoid blinking or rubbing your eyes. If using other eye medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applications.

Do not touch the dropper tip to prevent contamination. Use it regularly at the same time each day for the best results.

How Does Pilocar 2% Eye Drops Work?

Pilocar 2% Eye Drop contain Pilocarpine, a cholinergic agent that stimulates the muscles in the eye to contract.

This contraction widens the drainage channels, allowing excess fluid to flow out naturally, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

By constricting the pupil (miosis), it also helps improve focus in certain eye conditions. This process protects the optic nerve from damage, preventing vision loss. Regular use ensures stable eye pressure and long-term eye health.

Dosage 

•  Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension: 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times daily or as prescribed.

•  Acute Angle-Closure Crisis: 1 drop every 5-10 minutes for the initial hour, then as directed by a doctor.

• Missed Dose: Apply as soon as remembered, but skip if it’s close to the next scheduled dose.

• Overdose: Excess use may cause severe pupil constriction, headache, or blurry vision. Seek medical help if necessary.
