Product Overview
Careprost Plus Eye Drops is a specialized ophthalmic solution containing the active pharmaceutical ingredients Bimatoprost and Timolol Maleate. This innovative dual-action formulation addresses multiple ocular concerns, providing both therapeutic and cosmetic benefits for comprehensive eye care.
Therapeutic Applications
Careprost Plus Eye Drops is clinically proven to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension – conditions characterized by elevated intraocular pressure that may lead to optic nerve damage. Additionally, its unique formulation promotes significant enhancement in eyelash appearance, increasing length, density, and pigmentation.
Mechanism of Action
The pharmacological effects of Careprost Plus are achieved through:
- Bimatoprost: A prostaglandin analog that increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, effectively lowering intraocular pressure.
- Timolol Maleate: A non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist that reduces aqueous humor production through ciliary body inhibition.
This synergistic combination provides optimal intraocular pressure reduction through complementary mechanisms.
Recommended Usage Protocol
For glaucoma management: Instill one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. For cosmetic enhancement of eyelashes: Apply one drop nightly along the upper eyelid margin using the included sterile applicator. Carefully remove excess solution to prevent unintended hair growth in adjacent areas.
Clinical Benefits
Patients using Careprost Plus Eye Drops experience:
- Significant reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP)
- Prevention of progressive vision loss
- Marked improvement in eyelash parameters (length by 25%, thickness by 106%, darkness by 18% in clinical studies)
- Dual-purpose formulation addressing both medical and aesthetic needs
Potential Adverse Effects
Some patients may experience ocular hyperemia, pruritus, visual disturbances, dry eye sensation, or increased iris pigmentation. These effects are typically mild and transient. Discontinue use and consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist or worsen.
