CAREPROST PLUS EYE DROPS (BIMATOPROST 0.03% W/V + TIMOLOL MALEATE 0.5% W/V): Comprehensive Guide and Benefits
Introduction to CAREPROST PLUS EYE DROPS
CAREPROST PLUS: Dual-Action Antiglaucoma Therapy for Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension
CAREPROST PLUS EYE DROPS contain Bimatoprost 0.03% w/v (0.3 mg/ml) + Timolol Maleate 0.5% w/v (5 mg/ml), a combination Antiglaucoma Medicine belonging to the Prostaglandin Analogue + Beta-Blocker Drug Class. It is prescribed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, particularly when treatment with a single medicine does not provide adequate pressure control.
Bimatoprost increases the drainage of aqueous humour through the uveoscleral and trabecular meshwork pathways, while Timolol reduces the production of aqueous humour by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body. Together, these complementary mechanisms effectively lower intraocular pressure and help protect the optic nerve from glaucoma-related damage.
CAREPROST PLUS EYE DROPS are supplied as 1 bottle containing 3ml ophthalmic solution and should be used only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
