Benefits of Ripatec T Eye Drop

In Treatment of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve which is essential for proper vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye. Ripatec T Eye Drop is used to reduce the swelling and pressure inside the eye. This helps prevent complications of glaucoma such as blindness and improves vision. This medicine may be used alone or with other eye drops. Glaucoma cannot be prevented; however, frequent monitoring and regular checkups can help detect the disease in its early stages.

How Ripatec T Eye Drop works

Ripatec T Eye Drop is a combination of ripasudil and timolol. Ripasudil has high intraocular permeability and works by reducing intraocular pressure and enhancing flow facility, resulting in a decrease in the elevated fluid pressure in the eyes. Timolol is a beta blocker that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
