Pilocarpine Optifilm is used to treat elevated intraocular pressure in cases of glaucoma. It constricts the pupil and increases fluid drainage, helping to reduce intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve from damage. It also contributes to improving vision in patients with open-angle glaucoma. It is an effective topical treatment used under close medical supervision.
It also helps control the progression of glaucoma by directly affecting the eye muscles, facilitating the outflow of intraocular fluid. Pilocarpine Optifilm reduces internal tension and is suitable for regular use as part of a clear treatment plan. It is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid abrupt discontinuation of treatment to prevent recurrence of elevated pressure and its long-term complications.
