Trafatan eye drops 2.5 ml

Eye drop solution Troprost 40 micrograms / milliliter What is the use of Troprost: Troprost is a medicine belonging to a class of medicines called "Prostaglandin analogs". It is used to reduce high eye pressure in children from two months old and above, adolescents, and adults. Increased eye pressure may lead to glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye that can cause loss of sight). Troprost can be used alone or with other eye drops (such as beta blockers), which also help reduce eye pressure. Do not use Troprost: if you have an allergy to Troprost, or any other ingredients contained in this medicine. Tell your doctor about any symptoms you have experienced. Warnings and precautions: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have had an allergic reaction such as shortness of breath, rash, swelling of the face or neck. This medicine may be absorbed through your skin. Make sure to avoid contact of the dropper with your skin. If this happens, wash your skin immediately, especially if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. This product contains castor oil and propylene glycol, which may cause skin irritation and reactions. Rarely, this medicine may cause shortness of breath or wheezing or worsening of asthma symptoms (a breathing problem causing difficulty in breathing and wheezing). Talk to your doctor immediately if you notice any changes in your breathing pattern. This medicine may cause changes in the color of your eyes and eyelashes, their growth, length, thickness, color, direction, and number. The change in eye color may increase during treatment. Changes in eye color may not be noticeable until months or years pass.

Make sure to remove contact lenses before using the eye drop. You can wear contact lenses again at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drop. Avoid touching the tip of the eye dropper to the eye to prevent bacterial contamination. Ask your doctor if you are planning surgery (such as cataract surgery).

Tilt your head (or your child's head) slightly back and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pocket. Place the drop above the eye with the tip directed downward. Look upward and away from the bottle.
