Taflupro eye drops are used in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma. They contain the active
ingredient Tafluprost, which belongs to the prostaglandin analog group. It works by increasing the outflow of fluid
from inside the eye, thereby reducing elevated eye pressure.
The medication helps reduce the risk of optic nerve damage associated with high intraocular pressure. It is usually
used under medical supervision as part of a regular treatment plan to maintain eye pressure within the required range.
