In Treatment of Ocular hypertension
Ocular hypertension is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal eye pressure due to fluid build-up. Arotim-LA Eye Drop increases the flow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. This prevents further damage or complications such as change in vision or even loss of vision. You should only use Arotim-LA Eye Drop in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
In Treatment of Glaucoma

Arotim-LA Eye Drop is used to reduce swelling and pressure inside the eye. This helps prevent complications of glaucoma such as blindness and improves the vision.

FAQs
Arotim-LA Eye Drop
What is the right way to use Arotim-LA Eye Drop?
Always wash your hands before (and after) using Arotim-LA Eye Drop. This prevents you from passing the infection from one eye to the other. Remove the cap just before using your medicine and replace it as soon as you have finished. Avoid touching the nozzle of the bottle with your fingers. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid with a clean finger. Hold the bottle over the eye and allow a single drop to fall into the space between your lower lid and your eye. Close your eye and gently press your finger over the inside corner of your eye (over the eyelid) for about a minute. This helps prevent the drop from draining out of the eye. Repeat in your other eye if your doctor has told you to do this.
How many times should I use Arotim-LA Eye Drop in a day?
Ideally, you should use one drop in each eye, two times a day or as prescribed by your doctor. If the eye pressure is maintained at satisfactory levels, the dosage schedule may be changed to one drop once a day in the affected eye(s). Do not change the dosage without consulting your doctor.
