Pilocarpine Nitrate 2% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1189Eye Care
Product Introduction
Pilocarpine Nitrate 2% w/v eye drops are a miotic treatment for glaucoma and ocular hypertension. They are also used when pupil constriction is needed during an eye procedure.
How to use
Instil into the affected lower-eyelid pocket and press gently at the inner corner after dosing. The frequency depends on the glaucoma plan. Avoid driving in dim light if the smaller pupil reduces visibility.
How it works
Pilocarpine stimulates muscarinic receptors in the iris sphincter and ciliary muscle. Muscle contraction opens the trabecular drainage pathway and constricts the pupil.
Side effects
Brow ache, headache, blurred or dim vision, eye irritation and focusing spasm may occur. Sweating or increased salivation can occur with systemic absorption.
Important information
Retinal disease and risk of retinal detachment are important before miotic treatment. Sudden flashes, floaters or a curtain-like shadow across vision need urgent assessment.
Uses
- Glaucoma and ocular hypertension requiring miotic treatment
- pupil constriction for ophthalmic procedures.
Benefits
Increases fluid outflow through the conventional drainage pathway to reduce pressure in the eye.
Why is night vision dimmer after a dose?
A smaller pupil lets less light reach the retina, especially in poorly lit surroundings.
Why can there be an ache above the eyebrow?
Contraction of the focusing muscle can produce a temporary brow ache or headache.
Is this the same as oral pilocarpine for dry mouth?
No. These are eye drops for an ocular effect, not tablets for saliva production.
Can it be used alone for any acute glaucoma attack?
No. An acutely painful red eye with halos or nausea is an emergency that needs a complete treatment plan.
What new visual symptoms are especially important?
Flashes, a sudden shower of floaters or a shadow across vision can indicate retinal detachment.
