USES: This medication is used to reduce pressure in the eye. It is used in the treatment of glaucoma.

HOW TO USE: To apply eye drops, wash hands first. To avoid contamination do not touch the dropper tip or let the tip touch your eye or any other surface. Tilt your head back, gaze upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Place dropper directly over the eye and administer the prescribed number of drops. Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. If more than one type of eye drop is to be used, wait at least 5 minutes before using any other eye medication. Do not rinse the dropper. Do not use eye drops that have changed color.
