Ripatec Eye Drop

Ripatec Eye Drop is an ophthalmic medicine used to treat eye conditions such as increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and other related disorders. By lowering the pressure inside the eye, it helps prevent damage to the optic nerve and protects vision.

Uses of Ripatec Eye Drop

• Glaucoma (open-angle or other types as prescribed)
• Ocular hypertension (raised pressure in the eye)

Benefits of Ripatec Eye Drop

• Effectively reduces high eye pressure
• Prevents risk of optic nerve damage
• Helps preserve long-term vision
• Easy-to-use drop formulation for direct action in the eyes

Common Side Effects

• Eye irritation, burning, or redness
• Watery eyes
• Temporary blurred vision after use
• Itching or dryness of eyes
• Rare: headache or eye pain

How to Use

Use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Wash your hands before applying. Tilt your head back slightly, pull down your lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to prevent contamination.

How It Works

Ripatec Eye Drop contains an active ingredient that lowers intraocular pressure by improving fluid drainage from the eye or reducing its production (depending on the specific formulation). This helps in controlling glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Safety Advice

• Alcohol: No direct interaction, but follow your doctor’s advice.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Use only if recommended by your doctor.
• Driving: Do not drive immediately after use as it may cause temporary blurred vision.
• Contact lenses: Remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15–20 minutes before reinserting.
• Other medications: Inform your doctor if you use other eye drops or medicines.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not use extra drops to make up for the missed dose.
