Overview Eldiprost 0.005% Eye Drop
Prostaglandin analog Eldiprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution lowers intraocular pressure in adults and children with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Elevated eye pressure can damage vision, potentially causing blindness. This medication facilitates aqueous humor outflow, reducing pressure. Eldiprost 0.005% may be used alone or with other eye drops. Consistent use as directed by your physician is crucial; discontinuation can raise eye pressure and harm vision. Discard any bottle with a damaged seal. Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Common side effects include altered eyelashes, eye discomfort, photosensitivity, blurred vision, dryness, and possible iris pigmentation changes; less frequent adverse events may occur. Report any side effects to your doctor; management strategies or alternative treatments may be available. Avoid driving if vision is impaired; this is usually temporary. Do not use if pregnant, attempting pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
