Locula Eye Drop 20% (10ml) is a medication commonly used to treat conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, such as glaucoma. This eye drop contains the active ingredient Latanoprost, which helps reduce pressure within the eye, allowing for improved drainage of intraocular fluid. Regular use of Locula Eye Drop can help prevent damage to the optic nerve caused by increased eye pressure, thereby reducing the risk of vision loss.
- Consult your doctor before using Locula Eye Drop if you have a history of eye conditions, such as uveitis, macular edema, or retinal disorders.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses while using this medication. Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drop before inserting contact lenses.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before using Locula Eye Drop.
