What is Careprost Plus
Careprost Plus is an ophthalmic solution that combines two active ingredients: Bimatoprost and Timolol. It is prescribed for Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.
Bimatoprost helps lower Intraocular Pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, and Timolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, reduces the production of aqueous humor.
Careprost Plus is generally safe when used as prescribed. However, it is essential to consult an eyecare professional before use, especially for those with pre-existing conditions such as Asthma or heart problems or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Common side effects of these ye drops may include eye irritation, redness, blurred vision, and changes in eyelash growth. Rare but serious side effects could involve systemic reactions such as difficulty breathing, heart-related issues, or severe allergic reactions.
The typical dosage is one drop in the affected eye once daily, preferably in the evening. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions for optimal results and safety. Always avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.
