Synigan Eye Drop

Synigan Eye Drop is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Timolol & Dorzolamide. It is used to treat increased pressure inside the eye due to conditions such as glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:

1. Timolol: Timolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It works by reducing the production of fluid inside the eye, thereby decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP).
2. Dorzolamide: Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.

Uses:

Synigan Eye Drop is indicated for:

• Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Helping to prevent vision loss associated with high intraocular pressure.

Dosage and Administration:

• The dosage of Synigan Eye Drop and the frequency of administration will be determined by your eye care professional based on the severity of your condition.
• Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and instill the prescribed number of drops into the eye(s) as directed.
• Blink a few times to distribute the medication evenly.
• Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to prevent contamination.
• Replace the cap after each use.
• If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 10 minutes before instilling Synigan Eye Drop.
