Piloma 4% Eye Drop contains Pilocarpine, a parasympathomimetic agent used to treat glaucoma and reduce intraocular pressure. This medication constricts the pupil and improves aqueous humor drainage, effectively managing open-angle and acute angle-closure glaucoma. Uses Piloma 4% Eye Drop treats primary open-angle glaucoma, acute angle-closure glaucoma, and chronic angle-closure glaucoma. It’s used to lower elevated intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve damage. The medication also reverses pupil dilation after eye examinations and manages ocular hypertension. Benefits Effectively reduces intraocular pressure Prevents glaucoma-related vision loss Opens drainage angle in angle-closure glaucoma Provides rapid pupil constriction when needed Reduces risk of optic nerve damage Suitable for long-term glaucoma management Works quickly to control acute pressure spikes Can be combined with other glaucoma medications Helps preserve visual field and function How It Works Piloma 4% Eye Drop works by stimulating muscarinic receptors in the eye, causing contraction of the ciliary muscle and iris sphincter. This opens the trabecular meshwork, improving aqueous humor outflow and reducing intraocular pressure. The pupil constriction also helps open the drainage angle in angle-closure glaucoma. Dosage Condition Initial Dosage Maintenance Dosage Open-Angle Glaucoma 1 drop 3-4× daily 1 drop 2-4× daily Acute Angle-Closure 1 drop every 5-10 min As directed Instill Piloma in affected eye(s). Avoid touching dropper tip to eye. Apply gentle pressure to inner corner after instillation. Duration of Action Piloma begins working within 10-30 minutes of administration, with maximum effect occurring at 30-60 minutes. The intraocular pressure-lowering effect lasts 4-8 hours. Pupil constriction may persist for several hours, requiring multiple daily applications for sustained glaucoma control. Side Effects Common side effects include temporary stinging or burning, blurred vision, and eye irritation. Patients may experience brow ache, headache, or poor vision in dim lighting. Less common effects include increased salivation, sweating, or eye redness. These typically diminish with continued use. Warning Piloma 4% may cause significant vision impairment, especially at night or in poor lighting conditions. Use caution when driving or performing tasks requiring clear vision. Avoid in patients with acute iritis or conditions where pupil constriction is undesirable. May worsen retinal detachment risk in susceptible individuals. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Piloma should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and benefits outweigh risks. Limited data exists on fetal effects. It’s unknown if Pilocarpine passes into breast milk in significant amounts. Consult healthcare provider before using while breastfeeding. Interaction May interact with carbachol or other miotics causing excessive effects Possible reduced effectiveness with anticholinergic medications May alter response to topical NSAIDs Potential interaction with beta-blockers enhancing pressure reduction Could affect systemic medications due to absorption Precaution Use cautiously in patients with asthma, corneal abrasion, or retinal disease. Patients with cardiac disease require careful monitoring. Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before application and wait 15 minutes before reinsertion. Regular eye examinations are essential to monitor treatment effectiveness. Important Information Piloma 4% requires consistent use for effective glaucoma control. Don’t skip doses even if eyes feel normal. Temporary blurred vision after application is expected. Store at room temperature away from light. Don’t use if solution becomes discolored. Report persistent eye pain, vision changes, or signs of infection immediately to healthcare provider. Product Image Gallery Customer questions & answers Have a question about this product?
