Introduction
Monosopt Eye Drop is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. It is used to reduce pressure in the eyes, which can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. Never use Monosopt Eye Drop if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. Otherwise, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled and this could damage your sight.
