Description
Csaloptik Combi (Latanoprost) Eye Drops Solution 2.5 ml Vial №1
Ingredients
Active ingredient: Latanoprost. Other ingredients may include benzalkonium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, and others.
Mechanism of Action
Latanoprost works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. This mechanism of action helps in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Pharmacological Properties
Latanoprost, the active ingredient in Csaloptik Combi, is a prostaglandin analog. It acts by binding to prostaglandin receptors in the eye, specifically the FP receptor, leading to increased uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor.
Indications for Use
Csaloptik Combi eye drops are indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Contraindications
Do not use Csaloptik Combi eye drops if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a history of eye conditions.
Side Effects
