Tovaxo Eye Drop BAK Free

Product Description

Tovaxo Eye Drop BAK Free is a specialized ophthalmic solution designed to manage elevated intraocular pressure in adults, commonly associated with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. High eye pressure can damage the optic nerve over time, potentially leading to vision loss. This eye drop works by improving the outflow of fluid from the eye into the bloodstream, thereby lowering pressure safely and effectively.

This medication can be used independently or alongside other prescribed eye treatments. Consistent use as directed by your eye specialist is essential to maintain controlled intraocular pressure. Discontinuing the drops may result in elevated pressure, increasing the risk of long-term eye damage. Always ensure the bottle seal is intact before the first use. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.

How It Works

Tovaxo Eye Drop BAK Free contains a prostaglandin analogue that enhances the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. This mechanism lowers elevated intraocular pressure, protecting the optic nerve and preserving vision.

Common Side Effects
