Careprost Plus Eye Drop is a combination medication used to treat elevated eye pressure in conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by reducing the production and increasing the outflow of fluid within the eye, helping to lower intraocular pressure.
This medicine is suitable for both adults and children and may be used alone or with other eye drops. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and use it consistently for the best results. Do not stop using it without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to increased eye pressure and potential vision loss. Avoid using the bottle if the seal is broken. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Common side effects include eye redness, itching, burning, or stinging. If these persist or cause concern, speak to your doctor—they may adjust your treatment. The drops may temporarily blur your vision, so avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear.
Wash your hands before applying the drops and use only the prescribed number of drops. If using other eye medications, wait at least 10 minutes between applications. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.
Do not use this medication if you have asthma, severe COPD, or serious heart conditions. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or liver/kidney issues. The safety of this medicine during pregnancy is unclear, so let your doctor know if you are pregnant or planning to be. It should not be used while breastfeeding.
