Overview Costimo 0.5% Eye Drop

Costimo 0.5% ophthalmic solution treats high intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma, mitigating vision loss risk.

Soft contact lens wearers should remove lenses at least 15 minutes before and after instillation. Allow a 10-minute interval between Costimo and other eye medications. Refer to the accompanying patient information leaflet for complete usage instructions and optimal therapeutic outcomes. Avoid contaminating the dropper tip to prevent infection. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Discontinue use only after consulting your physician. Common side effects include transient ocular burning or stinging.
