If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. This medicine works by helping the fluid to flow from inside the eye into your bloodstream. It may be used alone or with other eye drops. Do not use it too often as that can make it less effective. You should only use it in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled. This could lead to a loss of sight.

FAQ's on Ioprost 0.005% w/v Eye Drop 1ml
Can I use contact lenses while using Ioprost?
Yes, you can use contact lenses while using Ioprost. However, remove your contact lenses before instilling Ioprost. You can re-insert the lenses 15 minutes after instilling Ioprost. Contact your doctor if eye irritation occurs and persists.
Do you have to refrigerate Ioprost?
Yes, the unopened bottle needs to be refrigerated at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). However, once the bottle is opened for use, it may be stored at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F) for not longer than 6 weeks.
Can I use Ioprost in the morning?
It is recommended to use Ioprost in the evening for best results. Ioprost, when used in the evening for the first few days, showed significantly effective results in lowering the eye pressure. The effect of this medicine remains for about 24 hours after administration.
When to seek doctor’s advice while using Ioprost?
You should contact your doctor immediately if you develop an eye infection, injury, conjunctivitis, or an eyelid reaction. Along with that, the doctor should be informed if you have undergone any eye surgery earlier. Use Ioprost as prescribed by the doctor.
Can I use other eye drops along with Ioprost?
If you have to use other eye drops, wait for at least 5 minutes before using them. You should inform your doctor about any other medicine which you are using since it may interfere with the working of Ioprost.
Can Ioprost cause a change in eye color?
Yes, continued use of Ioprost may cause a change in the color of the iris, particularly brown pigmentation. This color change is more common in people who have mixed color eyes (blue-brown, grey-brown, yellow-brown or green-brown). The change may be more noticeable if it is used in only one eye. This change in color is likely to be permanent. Additionally, the eyelashes may also become denser and the color of the eyelids may darken. However, this is usually temporary and reverts to normal once the use of Ioprost is discontinued.
How long does it take for Ioprost to start working?
The pressure in the eyes starts decreasing after about 3-4 hours of using Ioprost and the maximum effect is reached after 8-12 hours.
How long do you keep your eyes shut after using Ioprost?
After using the eye drops you should close your eyes for at least 2-3 minutes so that the medicine does not run off and gets absorbed in the eye.
