Breastfeeding Warning

Iysetra Eye Drop is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby. To reduce the amount of Iysetra Eye Drop that reaches the breastmilk, place pressure over the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.

Pregnancy Warning

Iysetra Eye Drop is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown low or no adverse effects to the developing baby; however, there are limited human studies.

Iysetra Eye Drop is a sympathomimetic. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Iysetra Eye Drop helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss. Put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s). Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Remove contact lenses before using Iysetra Eye Drop and allow at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or to your eye to avoid contaminating the eye drops. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines. It may cause temporary burning or itching sensation in the eye. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
