Isopto Carpine 2% Eye Drop 15ml

Isopto Carpine 2% Eye Drop belongs to a class of medicines known as miotics, or cholinergic (muscarinic) agonists, and its active ingredient is pilocarpine hydrochloride. If your eye doctor has prescribed this for you, it helps to know that it's applied directly into the eye and commonly causes some temporary effects such as blurred vision, headache or brow ache, eye irritation or stinging, and difficulty seeing clearly in dim light. Because it works by constricting the pupil, many people notice these visual changes most strongly in the first few hours after each dose, which is something your doctor will likely walk you through. This is a prescription-only eye medication, so it should always be used strictly according to your ophthalmologist's instructions rather than adjusted on your own. If anything about your dosing schedule or the sensations you're experiencing feels unclear, your pharmacist or eye specialist is the best person to check in with.

The typical dose is one drop of Isopto Carpine 2% instilled into the eye(s) up to four times daily, though your doctor may adjust the frequency and concentration based on your eye pressure and how your eyes respond to treatment. Always follow the exact dosing schedule given by your prescribing doctor rather than changing it yourself.

• Headache or brow ache
• Temporary blurred vision or changes in accommodation (focusing ability)
• Eye irritation, stinging, or burning on instillation
• Reduced or dim vision, especially in low light conditions
• Eye pain or discomfort
• Excessive tearing or watering of the eyes
• Redness of the eye (conjunctival hyperemia)
• Sensitivity to light
• Rare cases of retinal detachment in susceptible individuals
• Uncommonly, systemic effects such as sweating, nausea, or a slow heart rate if significant absorption occurs

Store Isopto Carpine 2% Eye Drop at controlled room temperature, generally between 20°C and 25°C, and protect it from freezing and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use, and store it safely out of reach of children.

• Always confirm the concentration (1%, 2%, or 4%) matches what your doctor prescribed before each use
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination
• Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the drops affect your vision, particularly at night
• Keep track of how many weeks the bottle has been open and discard it after the recommended in-use period
• Store at room temperature, away from sunlight, and never allow the solution to freeze
• Keep out of reach of children at all times
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before application and check with your doctor on when it's safe to reinsert them
• Report any sudden vision changes, flashes of light, or eye pain to your eye doctor promptly

Wash your hands before use, then tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket. Instil one drop into the affected eye(s) as directed, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and the eye, eyelid, or any other surface to prevent contamination, and close your eye gently for a minute or two afterward. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before application and wait as advised by your doctor before putting them back in.

Unopened, Isopto Carpine 2% Eye Drop generally remains stable until the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton when stored correctly. Once opened, most ophthalmic solutions like this one are recommended for use within about 4 weeks, as the sterility and effectiveness of the drops cannot be guaranteed beyond this point — check your product labelling or ask your pharmacist for the specific in-use period.

The active ingredient in Isopto Carpine 2% Eye Drop is pilocarpine hydrochloride 2% (20 mg/mL), a direct-acting cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agent that acts on the muscarinic receptors of the eye.

Known hypersensitivity to pilocarpine hydrochloride or any component of the formulation
Conditions where pupil constriction is undesirable, such as acute inflammation of the iris (iritis), unless specifically directed by an eye specialist
Use with caution in individuals with a history of retinal detachment or existing retinal disease
Use with caution in patients with uncontrolled asthma or significant respiratory conditions
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should use only under close medical supervision, as safety data are limited

Other cholinergic agents (including certain Alzheimer's medications such as donepezil) may increase pilocarpine's effects and the risk of side effects
Anticholinergic medicines, including some antihistamines, antidepressants, and overactive bladder or Parkinson's disease treatments, may reduce Isopto Carpine's effectiveness
Concurrent use with beta-blockers (oral or ophthalmic) may cause additive effects on eye pressure and requires monitoring for systemic cardiac effects
Combining with other glaucoma eye drops should only be done under medical guidance, as effects on eye pressure and pupil size may be compounded
No significant food interactions have been documented, but always inform your doctor of all medicines, supplements, and eye drops you are using
