Frequently asked questions for Ripasudil + Timolol
Ripasudil + Timolol
Q. What is the right way to use Ripasudil+Timolol?
Always wash your hands before (and after) using Ripasudil+Timolol. 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 the 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.
Q. How many times should I use Ripasudil+Timolol in a day?
Ideally, you should use one drop in each eye, two times a day or as prescribed by your doctor.
Q. Does Ripasudil+Timolol cause blurred vision?
When you instil the eye drops for the first time, it can make your eyes watery and may sometimes also cause blurred vision. If this happens, it will clear quickly. Make sure you can see clearly again before you drive, or use tools or machines.
