Drug introduction

Pilocaine is a drug used to treat glaucoma and other eye conditions. It lowers intraocular pressure by stimulating the capillaries in the eye, promoting the drainage of excess fluid from the eye. This helps reduce eye discomfort and vision problems caused by glaucoma. When using, please instill the correct dose of eye drops in your eyes according to your doctor's instructions. Side effects such as eye irritation, blurred vision, or headache may occur during use. If symptoms are severe or persistent, you should inform your doctor immediately. Avoid dripping medicine into other areas to avoid unnecessary side effects. If you have any questions or unclear things, you should consult your doctor. Use this medication strictly as recommended by your doctor, and do not adjust the dose or stop using it on your own.

Dosage

How to use: Place one drop into the patient's affected eye 2 to 4 times daily. Please clean hands thoroughly before use and avoid contact with skin around eyes. After use, gently press the corners of the eyes for 1 to 2 minutes to promote drug absorption. If other eye drops are used, they should be separated by at least 10 minutes.

Dosage Guidelines: The initial dose for adults is 1 drop per day, which can be adjusted to 3 to 4 times per day according to intraocular pressure. The dosage for children should be adjusted according to the physician's instructions, usually 1 drop per day. Patients with other eye problems may need dosage or frequency adjustments, please follow physician recommendations. If you experience eye discomfort or vision changes, seek medical attention immediately.
