Careprost Eye Drop is used to lower high pressure in the eyes in adults with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. If untreated, this pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss or blindness. The medicine works by improving the drainage of fluid from the eye into the bloodstream.
It can be used alone or with other eye medications and is suitable for both adults and children. Use it exactly as your doctor prescribes and apply it regularly for the best results. Do not stop using it without medical advice, as the pressure may rise again. Avoid using a bottle with a broken seal. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
Common side effects include eye redness and itching. Let your doctor know if these persist—they may adjust your treatment. Temporary blurred vision can occur, so wait until your vision is clear before driving or using machinery.

Benefits of Careprost Ophthalmic Solution
In Ocular hypertension
Careprost Eye Drop belongs to a group of medicines called prostaglandin analogue. It is used to reduce pressure in your eyes. It increases the flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. Take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled.
In Glaucoma
Careprost Eye Drop helps reduce pressure in your eyes (ocular hypertension) that can lead to an illness called glaucoma. It may be used alone or with other eye drops. Do not use it too often as that can make it less effective. You should only use it in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled. This could lead to a loss of sight.
