 Careprost Plus (Bimatoprost/Timolol) 

Careprost Plus is an eye drop used to lower elevated pressure within the eye and to treat glaucoma. Bimatoprost and Timolol maleate are present as working pharmaceutical agents in Careprost Plus. When the pressure of the fluid in the eye is high, the condition is called as glaucoma. The eye condition is mainly caused due to building up of fluid which flows through the eye. The reason behind this fluid buildup is the slow drainage of fluid out of the eye. The pressure builds up because the eye fluid drains out comparatively slowly. The production of new fluid continue to occur inside the eye joining the fluid already there, this way pressure continues to rise in the eye. This elevated eye pressure can damage your optic nerves which can ultimately result in loss of vision.

Careprost Plus is helpful in lowering the pressure in the eye by decreasing the amount of fluid produced as well as help the fluid flow out of the eye. Although the ophthalmic solution help controls your condition, it is not a cure for your eye condition. The eye drop is available on the physician’s prescription. Make sure that you use this eye drop only after getting the prescription from your physician.

Usage and Administration

The recommended dose for adults is one drop of solution in the affected eye once daily. Prefer using it in the morning. If the dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as scheduled. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose of one drop once daily. If more than one eye preparation is to be used, the other preparation should be used after at least 5 to 10 minutes. The tip of the bottle or the dropper should not be touched with any surface since it may contaminate the ophthalmic solution.

Overdose is unlikely to occur in case of ocular administration. However, if the eye drop is accidentally ingested, get medical help. The symptoms of an overdose include a headache, bronchospasm, shortness of breath, hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiac rest.
